This number closes another volume of
The Friend. To all who have aided in
the publication of our little sheet, wo return
our sincere thanks. Those who have read
our paces, but in no way contributed to its
publication, we hope have been incited to
forward a good enterprise in some other way.
For some reason we have not received from
our sea-faring friends the usual amount in
the way of donations. Why is this ? Surely,
during the 'year past, you have received the
paper as cordially, but yet where are your
donations ? Many thousands of copies we
have distributed gratuitously. We have
distributed, gratis, what has cost us two
hundred dollars, and yet in the way of
donations we have received less than one
hundred during the year 1865.
Will not masters, officers, and seamen,
who have been so successful during the year
past, remember The Friend and the Bethel
before going to sea ? We hope this suggestion will be sufficient to enable us to close
up the year without a debt, but with even a
surplus in our hands. We should be glad
to report a thousand dollars in hand, as a
reward for editing and conducting our little

the arrival of the good ship Kamehameha,
Capt. Cunningham, who had come to our

the news concerning friends at home, the

then invited to the cabin, where a nice supper was prepared. Here Mr. Sturges offered
thanks to the Creator of us all for his kind
protection and the deliverance of our beloved country from civil war and strife.
After supper, we repaired to the quarter

cheered the Old Flag, and adjourned to our
respective abodes to await the saijing of the

The next week the Morning Star arrived,
bringing Mr. and Mrs. Doane, to the great
delight of Mr. and Mrs. Sturges. On the

we set sail for Honolulu, bidding: adieu to

Capt. Cunningham was untiring in Ins
endeavors to make our passage pleasant and

for his unlimited generosity, and we also
tender our thanks to his officers and rrew
for their many acts of kindness.

GCT" The three packets forming the Hawaiian Packet Line, viz, the Smyrnwtr.
Onward and D. C. Murray, are fine and
substantial vessels, admirably suited to the
California trade at the present stage of development, but very soon larger vessels will
be required. They run with great regularity and dispatch, and are full freighted both
ways. The Onwards cabin has been recently refitted and enlarged. For comfort
and convenience it is unsurpassed. It is
very seldom that we hear any complaint
respecting the management of any of the
vessels on either line running berween Honolulu and San Francisco. The masters of
all these vessels are experienced and able
commanders, enjoying the confidence of the
traveling and shipping community.

Eight octavo volumes of this work have
already been published, by Carter & Co., of
New York, as follows
Trinitarian Congregational, Vols. I and 11.
Presbyterian, Vols. 11l and IV.
Episcopalian, Vol. Y.
Baptist, Vol. VI.
Methodist, Vol. VII.
Unitarian, Vol. VIII.
Seven of these volumes now lie before us,
the eighth not having been receivod, but we
have seen it announced in the American
papers. It is exceedingly pleasant to possess a sort of historico-photographic view of
the clergy of the various denominations of
America. Here we have it in convenient
size and shape. Il is decidedly the best
clerical album of American divines we ever
:
saw.
We have thought how delightful it would
l« to obtain a leave of absence for two or
three years, and visit America, traveling at
our leisure from city to city, town to town,
parish to parish, hear the different ministers, and sit down with them in their cozy
sanctums and talk about their parishes and
the history of their Churches. Life is too
short and work too pressing to undertake an
enterprise of that nature; hence we thank
the Key. Dr. Sprague, of Albany, N. Y„ for
preparing these accurately-written volumes.
They are full of choice reading, and contain
an amount of historical research truly wonderful. Very great accuracy is apparent
upon every page, and particularly in the
notes at the foot of almost every page.
We are exceedingly glud to learn from
th« various notices of the work in the denominational newspapers of the country,
that Dr. Sprague has, in a most wonderful
manner, treated the numerous subjects and
characters with historical accuracy, and yet
without offending the prejudices of the various denominations. This fact is the more
remarkable inasmuch as he belongs to the
Old School Presbyterian body. He has
manifested an eminently catholic and appreciative spirit in writing historical and bio,
graphical sketches of men and denominations differing widely from that branch of
the " Church Universal" to which he belongs. We began to peruse the work several years ago, and are glad to say that it
has increased in interest as the successive
volumes have made their appearance.
We close our notice of this work by adding that a parishioner could not peosent his
Pastor with a more acceptable New Year's
or Christmas present than Dr. Sprague's
Annals of the American Pulpit. The seven
volumes cost twenty-five dollars in New
York.
In Volume II we find a biographical
sketch of the late Rev. W. Richards, H. H.
Majesty's Minister of Public Instruction,
who die.d in Honolulu, Dec. 7th, 1847.
�THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1865.

THE FRIEND.
DECEMBER
I. 1885.
Visit of an American Man-of-War
ed in Micronesia.
Need-
We think the time has fully come when
the United States Government should send
a vessel of war on a cruise among the
islands of Micronesia. It is more than a
quarter of a century since a vessel belonging to the U. S. Exploring Expedition, under Lieut. Wilkes, cruised among the Gilbert or Kingsmill Islands, and forty years
since the Dolphin visited the Marshall
Islands. We are not aware that any other
U. S. Naval vessels ever visited those
groups of Islands. Our whaleships, by the
score, have frequented the ports of Ascension, and touched at other islands in Micronesia, and the Morning Star makes an
annual cruise throngh the Marshall, Gilbert and Caroline Islands, yet our naval
vessels have kept at a most respectful distance, as did a certain one sent to survey
the guano islands.
The civil war is over, and the vessels belonging to the navy released from blockading
duty j hence we think the Navy Department should dispatch a gunboat to cruise in
those waters, under the command ol an experienced and judicious commander, who
will faithfully represent a great, free and
Christian nation, which is ready to protect
its citizens and seamen in the most remote
parts of the world. We could name at
least a dozen islands which should be visited. The crews of several merchant vessels have been cut off in those seas. It is
our firm belief that the first U. S. Commissioner at the Hawaiian Islands, George
Brown, Esq., was murdered at the Marshall
Islands, in 1546, when he was on his passage to China. Very many are the reasons
we could assign why one of our vessels of
war should cruise through that part of the
Pacific. Commerce, trade and humanity
demand it. Again we say, let the Commander be the right sort of a man. Send
no "Mad Jack," (navy officers know to
whom we refer,) or anti-Missionary Commander, but a man of the stamp of Admiral
Dv Pont. It is worthy of the consideration
of the Navy Department, whether the time
has not fully come for a surveying ship to
cruise among all those islands and along the
innumerable reefs of the Pacific.
The Dollar Bill in the Sailor's Bible.
How little sailors realize the anxieties of
parents and friends in their lichalf. Said
to us a few days since:
Capt.
"When 1 was a sailor, my mother put a
Bible for my reading in the bottom of my
chest, and between the leaves she placed a
dollar bill; and I am ashamed to say she
found the bill there on my return home."
He added, " I never felt so guilty in all my
life." We hope all the sailors reading this
will search their Bibles, and if they do not
find bank bills they will find something
much more valuable. " Search the Scriptures," and ye may find eternal life.
Earthquake in San Francisco.-The
late earthquake was a much more serious
affair than we were led to believe from the
earliest reports in the San Francisco papers.
We have conversed with persons who were
there and experienced the shock ! There
were several shocks. Much injury has resulted to many of the buildings—glass was
broken—walls cracked—chimneys fell—the
foundations gave way—and there was a
general " shake." It has been estimated
that two millions would not cover the damage. Property holders will experience the
greatest loss.
"A Bird in Hand Worth Two in the
Bush."—-In our last issue we advertised a
lost canary, but the little creature, weary,
faint, hungry, partially robbed of its plumage,
sought shelter in the dwelling of a friend,
and the lady of the house took it in her
hand. Since its return, most charming
music has it discoursed. The Hindoo oays,
"An abode without birds is like food without seasoning." We have so few birds at
the Islands, except on the mountain;,, that a
sweet singing canary is a moat agreeable
companion, and while we are penning these
lines ours is singing most charmingly.
—
Rear-Admiral S. F. Du Pont.
Some one has kindly sent us a copy of a
pamphlet entitled " Sketch of the Public
Services of Rear-Admiral S. F. Dv Pont,
United States Navy." We have read notices of the death of this highly-distinguished
and meritorious officer. His fame is worldwide, and deservedly so. His services at
Hilton Head, Beaufort, Charleston, and
other places are well known. His services
in the Pacific during the Mexican war are
still fresh in the memory of many. We can
well remember his visit to the Islands as
Captain in command of the frigate Congress.
We have not forgotten the kind attentions
which we received from him on that occasion. He has ever kept up a friendly correspondence with the Rev. Mr. Coan, of
Hilo.
While he was in every respect the very
beau ideal of a naval officer, in discipline,
bravery and gallantry, yet he was not
ashamed, in all places and on all occasions,
to be known as an humble and firm disciple
of the Saviour of the world. He belonged
to a class of warriors embracing a Vicars, a
Havelock, a Foote, and many others, who
combine the noblest patriotism with the
most sincere and ardent piety. We quote
with pleasure the following p'.ragraphs from
an address at his funeral, by Bishop Lee, of
Delaware, at Wilmington, June 25, 1865:
The Church of Christ mourns to-day for a
faithful, earnest and consistent member.
Admiral Dv Pont was in truth and sincerity
a Christian man. In the strength of his
manhood, amid the smiles and promises of
the world, with much around hiio to inspire
pride, and to draw away his thoughts from
things unseen, he bowed with humility at
the foot of the Cross. With all the energies of his large soul, and with all the affec
tions of his generous heart, he responded to
the mercy of his redemption by the Son of

himself to his Savior was hearty and unreserved. He thus judged " That if One
died for all, then were all dead—and that
He died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto
Him which died for them and rose again."
After embracing the promises of the Gospel,
he was outspoken and manly in his Christian
course. Under all circumstances, he was
willing to be known and recognized as a follower of Christ. On the deck of his vessel
he would kneel down among his officers and
crew to seek the Divine protection before
going into danger, and to render thanks to

It is too often the case that in the characters of the illustrious, and even of the good,
there is some defect, blemish, or drawback,
that detracts greatly from their influence,
and mortifies their friends and admirers.
The character of Admiral Dv Pont was

American Thanksgiving, December 7th.
President Johnson's Proclamation.
By the President of the United States
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
during the year which is now coming to an
end, to relieve our beloved land from.the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit and
secure the blessings of peace, unity and harmony, with a great enlargement of civil liberty ; and whereas, our Heavenly Father has
also during the year graciously averted from
us the calamities of foreign war, pestilence
and famine, while our granaries are full of
the fruits of a successful season ; and whereas,
righteousness exalts a nation, while sin is a
reproach to any people ; now, therefore, I,
Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby recommend to the people
thereof that they do set apart and observe
the first Thursday of December as a day of
national thanksgiving to the Creator of the
Universe f/>r these deliverancesand blessings ;
and I do further recommend that the whole
people make confession of our national sins
against His infinite goodness, and with one
heart and one mind implore the Divine guidance in the, ways of national virtueand holi-

South Sea Island Missions.—The Rev.
Mr. Arbousset, French Protestant Pastor of
the Island of Tahiti, is now in this city, endeavoring to interest our people in the important Missionary labors which have been
so successfully prosecuted in that Island.
The Missions to the South Sea Islands were
commenced in 1797, the first movement in
England in behalf of the heathen world.
After long-continued, self-denying labor, the
whole group were nominally converted to
Christianity. In 1836, two Roman Catholic
Missionaries went there to propagate their
faith, and were expelled by the Government.
The interference of the French in opposition
to the local Government, and the establishment of the Jesuits by force, to the great injury of Missions, is well remembered, but
the French Government has since happilychanged its policy toward this people. In
1860, the National Assembly of the Islands
sent to France for two Protestant Missionaries, and now the Government is restoring
to the Protestants the charge of the schools
which were wrested from them and given to
the Jesuits. Queen Pomare and nearly all
the people still adhere to the faith of the

Rev. E. T. Doane.—On the return of
this tried Missionary to Micronesia, he has
become associated with Rev. Mr. Sturges, at
We congratulate
Ponape, or Ascension.
Mr. Sturges on having received so valuable
an associate. It was due to the cause of
Missions and* propriety required that he
should not labor any longer solitary and
alone on the large island of Ponape. From
accounts published in another column of our
paper—from various sources, seamen as well
as Missionaries—we learn that Christianity
has been firmly established among the inhabitants of Ponape. Long has been the
" night of toil." At one time all the Missionaries were virtually recalled from that
Island by the Board, but Mr. Sturges resolved to remain and labor without support,
for leave he would not. He commenced his
labors on Ponape in 1852, and has never
left the Island since, except for a few days.
Mrs. Sturges visited Honolulu in 1861, but
returned in 1862.

hove not many come to consider that having
received the Friend for so many years without paying for it, therefore they are not under any obligations to pay for its support ?

the Saranac, feel inclined to make a "freewill offering."

Rev. E.T. Doane to Micronesia, he touched
at Mille, one of tbe Marshall Islands, where
no Missionary has ever been stationed. Ho
thus writes : "We reached Mille after a

staid there nearly three days. 1 saw the

It was at this Island that the crew of the
whaleship Globe touched when Capt. Worth
was murdered, in 1824 or 5. Here a part
of the crew were left, and the remainder
navigated the vessel to the American coast.
Capt. Percival, in the U. S. schooner Dolphin, was sent to bring off those left upon
the Island. His return visit to Honolulu is
a part ofHawaiian history.
Kufus Choate, the great Boston lawyer,
in an important assault and battery case, at
sea, had Dick Barton, chief mate of the
clipper ship Challenge, on the stand, and
badgered him so for about an hour that
Dick got his saltwater up, and hauled by
the wind to bring the keen Boston lawyer
under his batteries.
At the beginning of his testimony, Dick
said that the night was as "dark as the
devil, and mining like seven bells."
Suddenly Mr. Choate asked him

Obituary.
Died, in Honolulu, on Sabbath evening, Nov. 20, at half past
nine o'clock, Miss Lydu Bkown, for thirty years a member of
the American Mission tr> the Hawaiian Istiinds, aged 85 year:*
and 8 month?. She had resided on the Inland* thirty year;,
having arrived here in June, 18.15.
Though she had long been feeble, and wna not expected to
live long, yet the immediate cause ot her death was a very so
vere burn, received on the same evening, and about two hour*
previous to her death, the lady with whom she boardedsuggested that she would leave a light in her room, as she was so
feeble, but Mis* Brown wild she had the means at band to
strike a light in c«*e shertquired one, and preferred that none
should bo left. The lady retiring to her chamber, was aroused
by a cry for help about half past seven o'clock, but Itefore sh»*
and a near neighbor could reach the feeble sufferer, she was
burued beyond the power of relier. The match with which she
had attempted to strike a light had evidently set fire first to
her left sleeve, from which the flames had spread rapidly to her
body. She survived two hours, in possession of her faculties,
and not apparently a great sufferer, after she was discovered.
Though no medical aid could save her life, yet the try for help
was just in season to save the house from conflagration.
Miss Drown was bom in New Hampshire. Her father wag a
physician, and the late Dr. Brown, who, at the head of an Institution In Boston for the cure of club feet and other similar
infirmities, has earned quite a reputation by his success, was a
cousin. For many yearsshe wasdevoted to teaching Hawaiian
girls both letters and the duties of domestic life. Her attachment to her native country was unwavering. She rejoiced that
she was permitted to live to sec the overthrow of the great rebellion and the suppression of thearmed treason which threatthe overthrowof the United States Government. In the language of her pastor, in Ids remarks at her funeral, Two characterises predominated above all others. One was loyalty to
her country and the other an earnest solicitude for the progress
and triumph of her Saviour's cause."
Though long past the period of active service,and subject to
pain and weariness,yet she was a i rcat reader, and kept herself fully posted in regard to current events. She rejoiced In
every success cf theUnion armies, and that she was permitted
to see their final triumph; and she rejoiced still more In every
Indication ofprogress In the advance of the Missionary work,
and her full belief of its ultimate universal success. Her own
hopes rested upon her Saviour. To the writer she said, a few
days before thesad catastrophe, My only hope Is In Jesus;"
and to a sister she repeated, with earnestness,
A wretched, weakand helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall.
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Saviour and my all."
Though called away in so distressing a manner, stltl the
event was mingled with mercy. After the fire was extinguished,
she seemed to suffer very little, aud when the physician announced that she was dying, she calmly responded, M I think 1
am." She received every possible aid during the brief period
which elapsed between the occurrence of the accident and ber
death which thekindness of her entertainerand sympathizing
neighbors could bestow, and, couldshe speak her thanks, they
would be hearty and sincere.

Temperance Lecture by a Lady.—lf
we had not signed the pledge some thirty
years ago, tint! during the period which has
since elapsed experienced the good effects of
total abstinence, we think that we should
have signed on the evening of the 14th of
October, after listening to the very sensible
and judicious lecture of Mrs. A. W. Allen,
who lectured before the Dnshaways at the
Bethd Vestry. It was the first public leeture by a lady we ever heard. If woman
can arrest the drunkard in his downward
career, or persuade the young to walk the
pathway of virtue and sobriety, most surely
we bid her God-speed in her errand of mercy.
Intemperance has made woman to shed an
ocean of tears, and if now her voice can persuade the erring to reform, confirm the temperate in the right way, and send conviction
to the hearts of those whose business it is to
make drunkards, then let it be heard through
the world. Mrs. Allen, accompanied by her
husband, opened and closed the exercises by
appropriate singing. Her address was welltimed and appropriate, and delivered with
much elegance of diction and language.
Several of her illustrations were aptly and

Mrs. Church.—We are
most happy to welcome the new teachers for

have been engaged in teaching. Mr. Church
has been connected with the Reformatory
School, under the patronage of the State of
Ohio, and has served several months in the
Union Army. He was at Washington when
the Rebels made their last raid into Maryland, in the summer of 1564. He visited
Secretary Blair's house only a few hours
after its lieing sacked. Mrs. Church has admirably introduced.

themselves a place in Hawaiian history has
passed away. The name of Robebt Crichton Wyllie occupies a conspicuous place
among those who have labored to establish
the independence of tho Hawaiian Kingdom. It is with unfeigned sorrow that we
now sit down to pen a few paragraphs
respecting our departed friend. It was our
privilege to have met him on the day of his
arrival—the 3d of February, 1844—and
since that time to have enjoyed his
friendship. For eighteen years he was
a constant worshipper at the Chapel where
it has been our privilege to preach. During
that period, he was seldom, if ever, absent
from the morning service. When the Reformed Catholic Church was established in
Honolulu, he became an attendant there.
The death of His Excellency, Robert
Crichton Wyllie, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Secretary of War, occurred on
the morning of the 19th instant, at five minutes to eleven o'clock, at his residence at
Rosebank, Nuuanu Valley, Honolulu. The
public had been apprised on several occasions of late, by the newspapers, that his
health was gradually fuiling and his demise
might be daily expected. Its public announcement was accompanied by an order,
under the authority of the Minister of the
Interior, to close all Government office*.
The national flag at the fort on Punchbowl,
and at the Government offices, was lowered,
as well as the flags of the various Consulates. Many of the merchants closed their
stores, and other demonstrations of public
mourning were not omitted.
It is highly appropriate that His Majesty's Government, and the public generally,
should thus make every becoming demonstration of Tespect to the memory of the deceased, who has so long and faithfully discharged the duties of Minister of Foreign
Affairs of this Kingdom. For more than

applied men of ordinary energy and a weak think that something beyond this was Mr.
.
Wyllie's rule. Besides carrying forward a
long and full correspondence with foreign
Governments, nnd commercial and financial
agents, he was also perpetually writing upon
subjects connected with the moral and social
condition of the Islands. At times he has
corresponded with many of the Protestant
and Catholic Missionaries. Little children
and youth very frequently were honored
with his correspondence. It was no uncommon thing with him to turn from inditing a
dispatch to penning a valentine.
We have often heard him remark that his
good old Scotch father, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, designed that he should
have become a preacher. He delighted in
theological reading and conversation. He
once showed us the original copy of a Spanish sermon, which he composed for a Catholic Priest in Mexico, and which was delivered by the same.
When Mr. Wyllie arrived at these Islands,
he was possessed of an ample fortune, having been long and successfully engaged in
financial and commercial affairs, in London,
Calcutta, United States and Mexico. He
was a native of Hazelbank, Ayrshire, Scotland, having been born October 13,1798;
hence ho was 67 years and 6 days old. In
curly life he received a good classical and
medical education, and subsequently became
acquainted with the French and Spanish
languages. The latter he wrote and spoke
with the fluency and accuracy of a native of
Spain. While some may withhold their
assent from all the political views and
opinions of the deceased, and may severely
censure some of his measures, asserting that
he was wrong and opinionated, yet it will
be readily acknowledged that a most remarkable man has passed away. Very many
looked upon him as a true and generous
friend, as well as a most laborious, faithful
and conscientious public officer. In forming
a correct estimate of Mr. Wyllie's character,
it should be remembered that, naturally conservative, he was from preference and education, an honest, and thorough-going monarchist. The principle of universal suffrage
he believed to be unsafe and wrong, even in
a Republic. Democratic opinions generally
were oposed to his views of Government.
He would honor the King, but not flatter
the people.
He once wrote us, " I am not one of
those who walk through life forgetting an
old friend at every step." This he wrote
with reference to the ingratitude which he
thought had been manifested towards a distinguished officer of the Hawaiian Government, now departed. He ever insisted that
the Government was bound to remember the
services of those who had labored in its behalf. His influence over went in the direc.

President Lincoln on Negro Suffrage.
New York, September 25.—The Southern Advocate, of the ISth, says : The following extract, which has just been published, is from the late President Lincoln's
letter to General Wadsworth, who fell in
the battle of the Wilderness : " You desire to know, in the event of our complete
success in the field, and the same being followpd by a loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty
should not be accompanied with universal
suffrage. Now, since you know my private
views as to what terms should be granted to
the South in the contingency mentioned, I
will here add, if our success should thus be
realized, and followed by such desired results, 1 cannot see. if a universal amnesty is
granted, how, under the circumstances, we
can avoid exacting in return universal suffrage, or at least suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service.

NOVEMBER, 1865.
A Tennessee Planter and a Negro
School. —The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says :
No man about Nashville is better known
than General Harding. His plantation is
one of the finest in Tennessee, and he went
into the rebellion with all his soul. But he
has been subdued, has taken all the oaths,
and seems disposed to observe them. He
has on his plantation one hundred and ten
negroes, the remnant of a once valuable
stock owned before the war. Yesterday
General Fisk went out to General Harding's
to talk with him and the colored people,
about a school. When the matter was first
broached, Mr. Harding expressed himself in
strong terms against it. He was " willing
to pay for the work he obtained, but a colored school he would not have on his plantation." However, a meeting was called.
General Harding introduced General Fisk,
told who he was. what was his business,
and sat down. Then the General took the
floor, and explained the views in regard to a
school. The scene just there and then
formed a spectacle worthy of the pencil of a
Raphael. There sat the ex-rebel planter
and General, and before him a congregation
of ex-slaves, whose dusky faces, when they
heard of the school, lighted up with a joy
better imagined than described. One old
gentleman broke out, " Bless dc Lord, Massa General, dat is just what we want,
exactly!"
After hearing the General, and beholding
the enthusiasm of the blacks, Mr. Harding
gracefully surrendered one. of the most wicked prejudices of the South, and agreed that
a school should be opened on his plantation,
to which he would give all possible encouragement. As soon as arrangements can be
made and a suitable teacher procured, a
school of sixty children will be opened.
General Harding pays his men eight dollars per month, his women six dollars,
clothes and feeds them, gives them the
whole ofevery Saturday to themselves, and
furnishes each one a truck-patch free. Many
of his hands, however, desire to rent lands
and manage their own affairs, so as to get
ahead in the world. When urging this
upon General Fisk's attention, one shrewd
old man said : "We will pay a good rent
and work hard. We is honest niggers and
want to deal
justly."
A Free National Museum.—The New
York Evening Post learns that Mr. P. T.
Barnum has definitely determined to begin
lo do now what he has for years intended to
do before his death—establish a free Mil
scum, on the plan of the British Museum,
the Louvre in Paris, and other governmental
institutions of a similar kind. In this institution Mr. Barnum proposes to place abundant specimens of natural history, and also
all works of art and relics of every name
and nature that may be contributed by our
Government, (by loan or otherwise,) and all
donations that may be received from everybody at home or abroad, whether Emperor,
King, Queen or peasant. In order to pay
the rent of the building containing the free
national collection, Mr. B. will erect and
carry on, entirely independent of it, a Museum on the old plan.

Newton and Voltaire.—In a tract entitled
"Astral Wonders," written by the
Rev. Mr. Craig, Vicar ofLeamington, occurs
the following interesting passage :
Let me narrate to you a passage concerning Sir Isaac Newton and Voltaire. Sir
Isaac wrote a book on the prophet Daniel,
and another on the Revelations; and he
said, in order to fulfil certain prophecies before a certain date was terminated, namely,
1260 years, there would be a certain mode
of traveling of which the men in his time
had no conception; nay, that the knowledge of mankind would be so increased that
they would be able to taavel at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. Voltaire, who did not
believe in the Holy Scriptures, got hold of

When he became an old man, and got into

must believe that mankind's knowledge will

British Seamen.—The number of British
seamen is estimated at 375,000, exclusive
of fishermen and other amphibious races.
The seamen are divided into 70,000 belonging to the Royal Navy, for whom 155 clergymen are provided; and 306,000 belonging to the mercantile navy, for whom, until
recently, the Church made no provision
whatever. A Society maintains 13 clergymen and 19 readers for seamen. Then
there is the Thames Church Mission, and
various mariners' floating churches at seaports.

Removal of the Remains of the Kings
to the Royal Mausoleum.
The Hawaiian Government, under the
management of the Minister of the Interior,
transferred the coffins containing the mortaF
remains of the Kings and high Chiefs of
Hawaii nei from the Royal Tomb, on the
Palace Grounds, to the Royal Mausoleum,
in Nuuanu Valley, on the evening following
the funeral of Mr. Wyllie. A torchlight
procession accompanied the long train of
carriages conveying the coffins. It was a
most solemn, interesting and touching scene.
The utmost quiet pervaded the streets
of the city as the procession moved along,
escorted by a military guard, and followed
by the Royal carriage, another carriage in
which rode His Excellency, Governor Kekuanaoa.'and several other carriages. The
procession passed through the streets about
nine o'clock. The solemn stillness was
broken by the wailing of one solitary native
woman, who followed the procession. It
seemed peculiarly fitting that this national
sign of mourning should find utterance as
the mortal remains of Kings and Chiefs were
passing to their final resting place on earth.
Thinking our readers will be interested in a
few historical memoranda relating to the
Royal Family of this Kingdom, we have
gathered the following:
There were the remains of twenty different royal personages.
1. King Kamehameha 11, son of Kamehameha I, who died in England July 14,
1824, aged 27 years.
2. Queen Kamamalu, wife of the abovementioned, who also died in London, July
Sth, 1824, six days before her royal husband.
His Excellency Governor Kekuanaoa was
present, and placed in her leaden coffin two
teeth belonging to Kamehama I, thus directed by her husband. Their remains
were brought to Honolulu on board H. B.
M. ship Blonde, commanded by Lord Byron.
They were landed in Honolulu in
May, 1825, with imposing ceremonies.
3. King Kamehameha 111, who was also
a son of Kamehameha I. He was bom
March 17, 1814, and died in Honolulu Dec.
15, 1854.
4. King Kamehameha IV. His remains
were deposited in the Royal Mausoleum at
the time of his funeral, in February, 1884.
Near this coffin repose the remains of his
much-lamented son, the Prince of Hawaii,
who died in Honolulu, August, 1862, aged
4 years, 3 months and 7 days.
5. Queen Kaahumanu. She was a wife
of Kamehameha I, and was Regent during
the absence of Kamehameha II in England,
antl also during the minority of Kamehameha 111. She. died June 5, 1532.
6. Queen Kinau, or Kaahumanu 11,
daughter of Kanuhameliu I, ami wife of
Governor Kekuanaoa, father of His present
Majesty. She died April 4, 18*19.
7. Kamanele, daughter of Governor Kuakini alias Governor Adams. She was affianced to Kamehameha 111, and died aged
about 20.

An Euloot wo.v Abraham Lincoln. By Alex. H.
Bullock.
This beautiful tribute to the late Chief
Magistrate of the Unked States was delivered at the request of the City Council of
the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. For
several reasons we have read this pamphlet
with interest. First, the character, life and
death of Abraham Lincoln, are the most absorbing topics of the year 1865; second,
this address was delivered by Mr. Bullock,
an old College classmate, who graduated at
Amherst College in 1836, with the second
honors of his class, and who is now a candi-

work.
Everett.
Should our old classmate be so fortunate
as to succeed to the Governorship of our
native State, we sincerely hope he may
truly follow in the footsteps of the illustrious
Governors of former days—the Lincoln?,
the Strongs, the Everetts. While all the
States are politically and civilly equal, yet
there is no denying that old Massachusetts
occupies a proud moral position among her
sister States. In the late struggle, how
nobly has she been represented by Senators
Sumner and Wilson in the Senate of the
United States. Massachusetts, in the language of Daniel Webster, « speaks for herself."
Sy Some one has sent us a
" specimen"
of Webster's new illustrated, royal quarto,
"
unabridged Dictionary," containing: 1840
pages, 114,000 words, and 3,000 illustrations, being the result of thirty years of literary labor of American and European
scholars spent on the revision alone. It is
published by G. and C. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass., and printed at the Riverside
Press, Cambridge. We have not only seen
this " specimen," but a single copy of the
work we have examined at Whitney's Bookstore. We can apply the language of Gen.
Jackson to this book, when he was once addressing a Western audience, and one of the
crowd called upon him to "tip" a little
Latin, when he broke forth, " Ne plus ultra,
multum in parvo, sine qua non, ultima
Thule." Al! this will apply to this Dictionary. As a Dictionary, we honestly believe

THE FRIEND,
OCTOBER 2, 1865.
Arrival of Chinese Immigrants.—During
the past week there has been an arrival
of Chinese immigrants, being the first com-
pany forwarded by Dr. Hillebrand, who has
been commissioned by the Government to
procure laborers from China or India. As
they were landing, we visited the wharf,
and learned that the company consists of
199 men, 43 women and 8 children—total,
250. They were accompanied by an interpreter. Each immigrant held a copy in
Chinese of the articles of his indenture, and
the Government agent possessed a copy in
English. In substance, the document reads
thus: The immigrant agrees to work in
the Hawaiian Islands for five years, on the
following conditions: Free passage from
China to Honolulu ; four dollars each calendar month, as wages; to be well supplied
with comfortable lodging, food, clothing, and
gratuitous medical services, and the immigrant allowed Sundays and three Chinese
holidays. At the expiration of the term of
service, the immigrant to return or not, as
he sees fit. A majority will undoubtedly
remain at the Islands after their period of
labor closes. Chinese fraternize with the
natives. Most sincerely do we hope both
planters and laborers may be benefited by
the arrangement. According to Hawaiian
laws, the newly arrived immigrant laborer
will have full access to the Courts if his
employer treats him with cruelty. If at any
1865.
time those employing these men treat them
unkindly or unjustly, we hope the Government authorities will interfere, for through
the representation of a Government agent
have they been induced to come hither.
Our own impression is that we shall soon
see many thousands of Chinese laborers
in these Islands.
Young Chile.—From letters just received
from the Rev. D. Trumbull, Pastor of the
Foreign Church of Valparaiso, we learn that
there is a growing and powerful party
among the Chilenos who are exceeding restive under the regime of the Priests. There
is a loud call for the Bible in Spanish. Mr.
Trumbull has resided nearly twenty years
at Valparaiso, and acquired a full knowledge of the people and language. He often
publishes articles in the newspapers of the
country, in which he challenges the Priests
to meet him in fair and open discussion.
In the true Lutheran style, he offers to prove
that the Priests " teach not the people
truly;" "not according to Scripture ;" " not
according to the Apostles ;" not according
"
the Ancient Fathers." No wonder his
opponents fear an open Bible, and threaten

who are affording him much encouragement
to prosecute his Evangelical labors and distribute the Bible.
Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society.—
The next meeting of this Society will be
held at M. dc Varigny's residence, in Nuuanu
Valley, on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
We are glad to notice in many papers
the announcement of Queen Emma's
arrival in England, in good health.

Singing in Common Schools.—The Hawaiian Board of Education, we learn, has
tabued singing during school-hours in the
common schools—in our opinion a most
stupid and unphilosophical prohibition, utterly opposed to the opinions of the best educators of Europe and America. We invite the members of the Board to visit our
sanctum and spend the morning hours for
the purpose of overhearing the native children in the Catholic school and the Protestant children in Mr. Beckwith's, (both private schools,) sing their pleasant, cheerful
and grateful morning hymns and songs.
If the members of the Board are not
ashamed of the rule which they have
adopted, then, with Shakspeare, we will say,
those who have no music in their souls are
fit for"—we will not say what; (ah, we forget—Boards and Corporations have no souls,)
or that another English poet must have been
wrong when he wrote,
"
•• Music hath charms to sooth the saTage breast."
Side Item.—We congratulate our
associate, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, on having
been presented by his parishioners with a
new family carriage. However liberally
and punctually a people may pay the regular salary of their Pastor, an occasional addendum will not operate unfavorably. The
constant draft upon a minister's energies is
very great, and when his people show that
they appreciate his labors, it acts as a soothing and healthful restorative, keeping him
young and vigorous.

" The Courtship of Miles Standish."—
In our April number we published Tennyson's poem of " Enoch Arden." Many of
our readers were so much pleased with its
publication, that we have been requested to
insert occasionally other popular poems.
We commence " The Courtship of Miles
Standish." It is one of Longfellow's best.
We have no doubt its reading will beguile

REVIEW.
WriAT I Saw on thf. West Coabt or South and
North America, and at the Hawaiian Isiandh.
By H. Willis Baxley, M. D. New York, D.
Appleton & Co., 1865.
In reading this volume, we have been
continually reminded of the anecdote of the
Quaker and the profane youngster who
in for a generous share of his abuse.
There is a repetition in this volume of the
same old stale vituperations against Missionaries which hnve been served up in
various styles during the last forty years,
at one time by writers in the old Sandwich
Islands Gazette, at another by the journalist
of some exploring expedition, nt another by
some British reviewer, nt another by a Simpson, or a Hopkins, or a Staley, or a Haole, or
any of that class of writers who consider that
they have a special call to operate as oceu-
generally. We are bold to say no such appropriation of Missionary funds was ever
made. Hawaiians connected with churches
under American Missionaries build their
own church edifices. It has always been
so. Now, if the Protestant Christians of
Hamakua see fit to build " thirteen churches,"
with their own money, and surmount them
with belfries, and in those belfries hang
bells, we do not know what reason Dr. Bnxley or any other person in America has to

We need not, of course, inform our
Island readers that this work is written by
the daughter of Dr. Anderson, who accompanied her father during his trip over the
Islands in 1863. We have heard this book
frequently called for, and sincerely regret a
supply is not for sale at the book-store. It
is a capital book to circulate among the
young, and contains vastly more correct and
useful information than many books of
greater pretensions. One intelligent lady
seeking information about the Islands, has
been heard to say, " This is just the book to
inform one about the Islands, and tell us
what we desire to learn." We are not sure
but the best of all descriptive tourists would
be a well-educated young lady, wielding a
nimble pen and blessed with a talent for
observation. We hope future writers upon
the Islands will follow Miss Anderson's example, and describe the lighter as well as
the darker scenes of Island life.
P. S. Since writing the above, we have
met with a copy of the Hours at Home,"

It is published in London, and contains a
vast amount of valuable information. It is
very complete upon American current literature.
We have received copies of the Chicago
Tribune, a large and handsomely printed
daily, and we learn that Mr. Brewster, formerly a school-teacher in Honolulu, has become
associated with its editorial corps. After leaving Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Brewster made
the tour of Europe. May Mr. Brewster's career as an editor prove as successful as that of
a teacher. Not a few regretted that they did
not return and resume their vocation as
teachers in Honolulu.
"Hours at Home."—We have chanced
pick up, in Whitney's Book Store, thret
numbers of this new periodical, published in
New York. No. 1 was good, No. 2 better,
and No. 3 best. It is a monthly, which we
can most cordially recommend for family
reading. The articles are original, and
written by some of the most popular writers
in the United States. In one number we
met with a communication from Dr. Anderson upon Kamehameha 111. The magazine admirably combines literary taste, entertaining reading, useful information and
religious instruction.

We recently heard of
for three dollars per week, and wishing his
money in advance, that he might get his
poetry inserted in the Kuokoa, and for which
he paid eighty-eight cents. Just think of a
poet not only not receiving anything for the
labor of his brain, but paying for its insertion ! We learn that contributions in money
for this purpose make up quite a little sum
to both of the native papers. If it was not
for this pecuniary check upon Hawaiian
genius, the poets would fill both papers.
Let no one after this say Hawaiians are deficient in a genius for writing poetry. We
have heard, too, of some who will write for
one paper, and come out abusing themselves
in the other paper the following week !

circumstar-es making every right-minded down, it is moat gratifying that the sailor can
I
r
exhibit a fair record during the war. The
following relates to some sailor-prisoners
found in Camp Ford, in Texas :
" The oldest prisoners in the Confederacy
are in this camp. Their imprisonment is
now measured by years. On the 21st of
January, 1863, the officers and crew of the
Morning Light were captured ofT Sabine,
and they still remain prisoners of war. A
fatality seems to have attended all the naval
prisoners who have found their way to a
Texnn prison camp. Those of the Clifton
and Suchem, captured at Sabine Pass, September 8, 1863, also share the tame fate.
Exchange after exchange of army prisoners
tukes place, but the boon never reaches these
sailors. Soldiers have been taken from the
same camp and sent back to our lines who
have not been held as prisoners a month.
Yet the gallant tars have shown a devotion
to their flag unsurpassed, perhaps unequaled
during the war. With the feeling that they
have suffered gross injustice, with a sense of
neglect by their own Government, they have
never deseited. There have been desertions
to the enemy from this camp, but they have
not been by sailors.
An Englishman's Opinion of Negro Suffrage.
The eminent English writer upon political topics, John Stuart Mill, writes as follows to a friend in the United States:
" 1 have always been afraid of one thing
only—that you would be too gentle. I
should be sorry to see any life taken after
the war was over, (except those of the assassins,) or any evil inflicted in mere vengeance ;
but one thing I hope will be considered absolutely necessary: to break altogether the
power of the slaveholding class. Unless
this is done, the abolition of slavery will be
merely nominal. If an aristocracy of exslaveholders remain masters of the State
Legislatures, they will be able effectually to
nullify a great part of the result which has
been so dearly bought by the blood of the
Free States. They and their dependants
must be effectually outnumbered at the
polling places, which can only be effected by
the concession offull equality of a'l political
rights to negroes, and by a large immigration of settlers from the North."
This is encouragement from an unexpected
quarter. Surely, when Englishmen advocate negro suffruge, or universal suffrage,
Americans should not hesitate. This is the
most prominent question now discussed in
all the newspapers of the United States.
Only one consistent course seems now to
open, and that is to sweep from the statutebook of the National and State Governments
all class-laws, or an entire abolition of all
rights and privileges conceded to the white
population that is not conceded to the colored people. Let both hereafter stand equal
before the civil courts and at the ballotbox. Surely the loyal negroes are entitled
to equal rights with the " poor white trash,"
only half loyal, we hear and read so much
about.

C7 1We copy the following paragraph relating to the Rev. Mr. Snow, so well known
at the Islands, from a late number of the
Pacific. It will bo remembered that he was
a member of the junior class at Andover, in
1861,and volunteered as a soldier, but waa
very soon promoted to the rank of Chaplain.
He served during the "nine months" under
General Foster in North Carolina. On
leaving the Army, he came out to lhe
Islands, and returned to California, where
he has since been preaching :
Rev. W. F. Snow preached on Sunday,
the" 20th, his farewell sermons to the Congregational Church at Grass Valley, of
which he has been acting pastor for tlie past
fifteen months. At the close of the Sabbath
School exercises, the teachers nnd pupils
presented to Mr. and Mrs. Snow a pair of
silver goblets, as a parting token of affection.
Mr. Snow has been Superintendent of the
School during his ministry to the Church.
He will leave for the East on the steamer of
September 2d, and intends to complete his
course of theological study in Andover
Theological Seminary. We regret to lose
so excellent a laborer from our needy work
in this State."
" Birds, Birds, the Little Birds."—
We rejoice to learn that Dr. Hillebrand has
sent from China some birds to be let go upon
the Islands. Already seven Java sparrows,
seventeen avodevats, and five of an unknown
species, have been let loose near Mr. Montgomery's garden. Most sincerely do we
hope no mischievous boys or naughty men
will molest the little strangers. Welcome,
welcome, we say to the new-comers, and
long may they and their descendents dwell
upon the Islands.
In referring to a telegram of General
Beauregard, which recently turned up. and
in which Jeff Davis was reminded to hurry
up the order for the hanging of all the Abolition prisoners, the Times remarked that it
was difficult to believe that Beauregard
could pen such a diabolical dispatch ; whereupon Col. Julius Allen relates the following
circumstance : While in command at Savannah, Beauregard, at the close of a venomous speech against the Yankees, spoke
is follows :
" When I reach Massachusetts,
my first act shall be to blow Plymouth
Rock out of existence. That will be the
greatest and happiest moment of my life."
The Sovereigns of Europe and Their
Religion.—There are in Europe 43 reigning Sovereigns, not including those who
possess titles only. Of those 43, 9 belong
to the Roman Catholic religion, but one of
that number is excommunicated; 31 are
Protestants, 1 is of the orthodox Greek
Church, 1 a Mahonmedan, and the 43d is
the Pope. The excommunicated Sovereign
is King Victor Emmanuel. There are besides, in Europe, 7 Republics : 2 exclusively
Catholic—San Marino and Andorre—and
6 where the majority of the inhabitants are
Ptotestanti—Switzerland, Hamburg. Bre.
n»w, Frankfort and Lubeck.

We see it reported in American papers
that Mr. A. B. Lyons, of Waiinea,
Hawaii, has taken the highest honors in the
graduating class at Williams College, Massachusetts. Also, that J. E. Emerson, N.

the Islands, have taken high honors in
the same class. It is very gratifying to sec

"Burn, sink and Destroy."
One of the shipmasters, recently arrived
from the Arctic ocean, in order to prevent the
burning of his vessel, endeavored to reason
the question with Capt. Waddell, but the
discussion was very abruptly brought, to a
close, by the remark, "My orders are to
' burn, sink and destroy/ We are not surprised at such an orWr. It is fit and becoming that the so-called Confederacy should
have sent forth armed vessels, to cruise under
such instructions. It harmonizes with the
policy of a set of men, who did not blush
to publish to the world that they were founding a Government with " negro chattel
slavery as the corner-stone." It is also in
keeping with the policy of the rebel leaders
for Captain Waddell to express his ready
assent to the report of President Lincoln's
assassination, but to be incredulous respecting the surrender of Lee, the fall of Richmond, and the collapse of the so-called Confederacy. The conduct of the commander
of th% Shenandoah harmonizes with the policy of a Government which could approve of
the Fort Pillow massacre and the starvation
of Union prisoners held as prisoners of war.
No wonder, while executing such an order,
he was unwilling to look his captive skippers in the face.
As this is an age of retributive justice, or,
as some style it, of poetical justice—in other
"
{®l&StriK, *)01.2i.
65
words, a fast age—we may expect soon to
hear that the Shenandoah has been " spoken"
by some American or English war-ship.
Justice does not nowadays travel at a snail's
pace. Davis is safely lodged in Fortress
Monroe, Stephens in Fort Warren, and
about thirty of the rebel leaders have been
indicted for high treason, while Lieutenant
Maury, so long the pet of the Government at Washington, after spending four
years in England abusing his native counWe did not
try, is now begging a pardon
think that such men as Commodore Tatnall
and Lieutenant Maury would ever beg that
they might be allo.ved to take the oath of
allegiance. Verily, Southern chivalry is at
a discount. No, it has not quite expired.
One more spark flashes out amid the burning and sinking wrecks of the helpless
whalemen in the Arctic Ocean. Captain
Waddell declines to " bum, sink and destroy" the James Maury, because Mrs. Gray,
wife of the late master, is on board. On
first hearing this report, we felt that Capt.
Waddell was really one of those chivalric
sons of the South we have read of; but, oh,
what a come-down, when we learned that
he had bonded" the vessel for about forty
thousand dollars. Let no Southerner, after
this act of meanness, talk about the Yankees'
love of the almighty dollar. He knew that
a few ships must be spared, but to select the
James Maury as one, and then say that he
did it out of respect to the late captain's
wife, by no means elevates his character in
our estimation., If Capt. W. had been the
gentleman he claims to be, he would have
said nothing about the " bond." Waddell,
like Shylock, would exact a " bond," but we
fancy that when he would collect the "bond,"
he will find himself in a worse dilemma
than was Shylock, who claimed his pound
of flesh," but barely escaped with " a halter
gratis, nothing else."
Not only was the Janus Maury " bonded,"
but compelled to take on board near two
!
"
"
hundred of the crews of other ships, besides
supplying another of the "bonded" ships
with thirty barrels of provisions. We think,
however, Capt. Waddell's generosity, humanity and chivalry culminated in that
beautiful quotation from the lingo of a Feegean cannibal. When the master of one
of the "bonded" vessels remonstrated, saying
that there were not sufficient provisions on
board to supply the ships company until
the vessel should arrive at San Francisco,
Capt. Waddell bluntly and gruffly blurted
out the remark, Eat a kanaka." It must
"
have been some members of the Waddell
family, we opine, who were in command of
Andersonville, Libby, Castle Thuffer, Belle
Island, and other noted Southern prisons.
"Magnifique, Excellent, Pretty Fair !"
On beholding Weed's large photographic
views of scenery on Maui and ofHonolulu, we
involuntarily exclaimed in the above language
of the Frenchman, whose astonishment on a
certain occasion well-nigh overcame him.
The age of wonders and art has not passed
away. Knowing the difficulties attending
the ascent of Haleakala, we are more than
astonished to learn that he succeeded so well
in taking views of the largest crater in the
world. In a double sense the old Latin
phrase, " Res magna est," will apply, to
which phrase our late jocose President Lincoln is reported to have furnished the following apt translation : "Itis a big thing."
A letter dated Bankok, Siam, April
29, 1865, and written by the Rev. Dr. Dean,
of the American Baptist Mission, has been
received, informing the editor that a sealed
tin box, containing rare and valuable seeds,
has been sent to his address. The letter
was received by the Onieard's mail, but the
box has not come to hand. Any person in
San Francisco, or any shipmaster, having
said box in possession, will confer a great
favor by forwarding the same, and all
expenses will be paid.

ing facts which will be of interest to the publio, in
lack of direct intelligence from the scene of the
wreck. Tho Brother Jonathan had six boats on
board, three of which were Francis' Patent Life
Boats, and the others common ships' surf boats, of
capacity to carry 260 people, which is more than the
whole number on board. Capt. Connor, of the Sierra Nevada, who arrived from the North on Monday,
reports that ho paused tho reported scene of the
wreck, at 11 A. M , on Sunduy, and expected to meet
the Brother Jonathan near that point, to exchango
papers, but saw nothing of her. There was a strong
wind and heavy sea ut the time, lie thinks that she
foundered about 26 miles to tho north of Cresoent
City. There are two places a few miles apart in the
vicinity, at which boats could land, and be thinks it
possible that some of the passengers may have landed
in the other boats, at a poiut eight miles from Chetkoe Harbor, where those reported saved came ashore.
Captaiu Jackson, of the Del JVorte, thinks tho
Brother Jonathan may have foundered at a point ten
miles above Crescent City, in which case some of the
boats may have run down to that point.
It is to be regretted, in view of the ravages of the
pirate Shenandoah, and this great public calamity,
that not u Government vessel of any description is
now here, except tho revenue cutter Jus Lane, either
to protect our commerce or render assistance in recovering the bodies of the victims of the disaster,
and ascertaining whether any not yet reported have
survived.
Mr. Nesbit, of the Evening hulldin, was on a
trip to Oregon, Washington Territory and British
Columbia, and started with the intention of being
absent four or five weeks. He was unmarried, and
leaves no relatives in this country. Mr. I'. iohards
was of the firm of Richards •& McCraken, well known
merchants of this city.
Victor Smith, formerly Collector at Port Angelos,
Puget Sound, was wrecked ou the Golden Rule, on
Ronoador Reef, last month, and the illness which he
that time was the cause
contracted from
of his remaining here when the lost steamer sailed.
James R. Richards waa a member of the wellknown Front Btreet firm of Richard 9& McCraken.
He was on his way to Victoria to meet his wife, who
was en route from Honolulu to Viotoria, on one of

News from the "Shenandoah."
Wholesale Destruction of American
Whalers.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The correctness of the speculations in yesterday'o
Bulletin aa to tho whereabouts and probable operations of tho rebel pirate Shenandoah has been only
too speedily verified. The arrival of the whaling
bark Alilo, Capt. llawes, in our harbor, this morning, brings us news of the most extensive and wholesale destruction of American shipping yet committed
by any rebel pirate sinco the beginning of the war.
We will commence the story by u
Chronological Account,
as near as can be ascertained, of the operations of
the Shenandoah. The pirate boarded a Hawsiiau
schooner on Ihe 30th of March, in lat. I 63 N, lon.
167 W, which was the last news we had respecting
her. He inquired of the captain of the schooner the
location of our whaling fleet, and, it appears, imnit
diately steered in that direction. '1 wo days after
wards, on the Ist of April, the pirate reached Aa
cension Island, where she found lying at anchor the
Kan Francisco whaler Kdward Carey, Capt. Baker,
with 275 bbls sperm oil ; the Hawaiian bark Hat ■
vest, Capt. Eldridge, with 300 bbls; the American
bark Pearl, Capt. Thompson, empty, (sailed from
Honolulu,) and the ship Hector, Capt. Chase, with
276 bbls. All of these vessels were burned, and
their officers aod crews, with the exception of those
men who joined the pirate, were left on Ascension
Island. The Shenandoah then set sail for the
Oohotsk Sea, where, on the 27th of May, she captured the whaleship Abigail, Capt. Nye, with 30
bbls sperm oil. After remaining alongside the Abigail one day, and taking from her such clothing,
small-arms and liquors as were wauled, she was
committed to the flames, nnd, with the Abigail's
crew on board, the pirate set sail for the Arotic
Ocean. Soon after the crew of the Abigail went on
board the Shenandoah, 1. S. Manning, who had
been her second officer, John A. Dowdcn, boatstccrer,
and thirteen men, mostly Sandwich Islauders, joined
the piiates, and are probably still with them. Manning, it may be well to state, was last year third
officer of the ship Hill man, from this port. He has
a wife living in New York city, lie joined the
Shenandoah as pilot, and not only steered (be pilot
towards our whaling fleet, but gave the rebel commander the first information as to where it lay. The
Shenandoah arrived off Cape Thaddeus, at the entrance'to tbe Arctic Ocean, on the 20th of June.
Here she encountered the Euphrates, Capt. Hatha
way, with two whales, which was burned on the
21st of June. The nexf dajAshe fell in with and
burned the ship William Thompson, Capt. Tucker,
ami tho Jireh Swift, Capt. Williams, having four
whales c-.ch. Three of the crew of tbe William
Thompson, all Englishmen, forthwith joined the
pirate. A day or two after, she captured the Milo,
Capt. Huwes, with two whales. The captives had
by this time become so numerous that Capt. Waddell, the commander of the rebel cruiser, concluded
to bond the Alilo instead of burning her, which he
accordingly did,in the sum of $46,000, and, putting
all his prisoners, who had not deserted their flag, on
board of her, gave her a clearance for San Francisco.
Just before the Milo set sail for this port, (June 28)
the Shenandoah had captured the Susan Abigail,
Capt. Redfield, of San Francisco—a trading brig—
nnd was lying alongside of her taking in booty when
the Milo left. The Milo has been 27 days on her
passage to this port, and brings Captains Tucker.
Williams, Smith and Hathaway, and about 180 officers and men of the captured Teasels.
A Large Fleet of Whalers Near By.
Near to where the Shenandoah was last seen was
a large fleet of whalers, comprising about sixty Teasels, mostly ice-bound, and it is the opinion of the
officers who arrived by the Milo that they have all
ere this fallen a prey to the pirate. The evening before the Milo left, Capt. Nye, one of the captains
who bad been put on board of her to be sent to this
port, left her in a boat, under cover of a dense fog,
with the design of going to tbe fleet of whalers and
giving them warning. Whether he reached the
fleet or not is unknown, but even if he did, it is
thought to be very doubtful whether the vessels
would be enabled to escape from the pirate. It is
believed that the commander of tho Shenandoah dc-
�THE
I I. iL N
signed to fit out one or two of the captured vessels ss
privateers, with whioh to destroy tho vessels above
tpoken of, and also all other American ships that
may be found in these waters. He did not wish to
rick the Shenandoah by running ber into the fields
iuduoe
of ice. Capt. Waddell was very anxious to
the men be captured to enlist under his flag, probanew
bly for the purpose of getting crews to man tbe few
pirstes that he designed fitting out. Vory
Americans, however, were persuaded to join bim.
How the
Shenandoah is
Manned and
Equipped.
From one of the captains, who was 27 days a
prisoner on board the pirate, wo learn the following
particulars about the rebel craft: She has six
guns—two rifled guns at tho bow, two heavy guns
amidships and two small guns aft. Sho is a fullrigged ship, with iron frame, iron masts, and iron
She is
lower yards. Her length is about 260 feet.
slight built, and could be easily destroyed by the
poorest of Uncle Sam's naval vessels, provided she
lew
could be got in range, but she is very fast, and
vessels in our navy or any other would be able to
catch her in a fair chase. Her crew consists of
about 160 men, mostly English and Irish. She has
a large amount of shot, shell, &c, sufficient to fit
out two or three more cruisers like herself. Tbe
following is a list of her officers Captain, James I.
Waddell, formerly lieutenant in the U. S. Navy ;
First Lieutenant Whipple, also formerly of the U. S.
Navy; Second Lieutenant, Schells; Third Lieutenant, Lee a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee; Fourth
:
Lieutenant, Scales; Fifth
Lieutenant, Miner, for-
merly secoud officer of the bark Alice, of Cold
.Spring, Long Island. This Miner acted as pilot of
the Shenandoah in the Ochotsk Sea.
Where She Uetn Her Coal.
During bis stay on board the Shenandoah, Mr.
labor, the mate of the Abigail, became quite intimate with several of the officers and men, and, in
conversation, he learned that tbe Shenandoah was
to be kept supplied with coal by the English at Melbourne. As confirmatory of this information, it is a
noteworihy fact that, on the 18th of June, the
schooner Willttm Gifford spoke a large merchantman which refused to answer the hail, and it is believed that this was the coal supply ship on her way
to the pirate from Melbourne.
iipt. Waddell Thought of the
WksVl
«
Rebellion.
On the arrival of the Shenandoah at Cape Thaddeaa, where she captured tho Euphrates and other
vessels meutioncd above, Capt Waddell was infoimed
of the fact that Lee had surrendered, Richmond was
taken, and President Lincoln had been assassinated.
Ho replied that he was prepared to hear of the assassination of Okl Abe, for be had expected it, hut
decliued to put credence in the statement of the suricoder of Lee and the capture of Richmond. On
being assured that such was the fact, he Btill pretended to disbelieve it, and proceeded to destroy the
vessels as though the
Confederacy" was still a
power in the canh, and he was one of its gallant"
navil heroes.
Treatment of the Captives.
The offioerß and crews of the vessels captured by
the pirate were generally well treated while on board
the Shenandoah, that is to say, they were not put la
irons, or otherwise ill-used, hut all their money was
laken from ibem; aud, although tbey were told that
lliey could keep their olothiug and private property,
jet when they took an inventory of the same they
fouDd that it had all been overhauled by the pirates
sod everything of value stolen.
We subjoin the following statements, which will
jrivc such further details of interest to the publio as
mull he gathered from the officers who arrived by
the Milo :
Statement of dipt. Ilawes.
On the 22d of June, while off Cape Thaddeus, observed a large ship, which we at first took for a
whaleship, but, on coming up with her, discovered
her to be a stcamev. Upon coming withing speaking distance, her character was apparent, and it was
then plain to all that she was a Confederate pirate.
The captain of the pirate came on the quarter deck
of his ship, and called out iv a sharp, peremptory
"
manner:
"
" Ship ahoy ! come aboard and bring your papers."
Captain Hawes—" What ship is that.'"
Answer—" Never mind. Come aboard aod bring
ycur papers, and bear a hand about it, too."

Upon that, Capt. Hawes went on board the Shenandoah, and was received at the after gangway by a
lieutenant, who ushered him into the csbin and in

Captain Waddell had resd iv some of tbe Northpresence of Capt. Waddell, who motioned him to a ern papers tbat there would be no danger of the piratical oraft appearing in those waters, as her officers
seat, when the following conversation ensued
Captain Waddell—"Captain, I have to inform aud crow oould not stand the cold. When tbe paare

you that you
war Shenandoah. Before proceeding any further, I he remarked to one of tho oaptains, You will soon
propose to lay you under a solemn oath to tell the be in San Francisco ; give the naval officers my
compliments, and tell them we stand the oold first

An oath to truly answer such questions as might rate."

Disbanding the Armies.
Four years ago the world was astonished
the uprising of a great people, and the
mustering of immense armies. The wiseacres, however, predicted that trouble would
come when the war closed and the immense
armies were disbanded. How happily have
such predictions all failed! Including the
rebel armies, not less than 500,000 have
been or will be disbanded. The New York
Herald thus speaks of the dissolving of the
Union armies :
Over 120,000 soldiers have been disband-
at
ed within three weeks, and 80,000 have,
since the Ist of June, passed over the railroads from Washington. But a short time
ago, the thought of this disbandment, and of
the return of these soldiers to their Northern
homes, filled many persons with alarm. It
was feared that these men, used to the rough
life of camp, habituated to the use of deadly
weapons and to scenes of blood, would be a
wild and reckless element in our society ;
that our streets would teem with scenes of
violence, and that murders and robberies
would become frightfully frequent. These
were fears justified to some extent by the
experience of other countries, that had suddenly disbanded large armies. But our experience has been very different from that ot
any other country in this respect, and all
these fears have proved entirely groundless.
It would not be possible to bring into our
cities any equally large number of men with
so few scenes of violence or so little disturbance of public order as has been occasioned by these soldiers.
We see the soldiers everywhere. They
march up our streets and stack arms, and
indulge in a thousand antics of delight.
They scatter out in all directions and buy.
They are honest, hardy fellows, ragged
enough, and happy " as troutiets in a pool."
They are bronzed with the suns of fifty
Austerlitzes. They have rporc vim and
humor than you can find in all the theatres
the winter through, but withal they are the
most orderly of men. Here and there one,
under the influence of rum, may be a little
noisy and pugnacious, but even this is not
so frequent as one might naturally expect it;
and its rarity culls attention only the more
strongly to the vast number of returned soldiers that do not outrage public propriety
even in that way. The vast majority of
these returned soldiers are intent only on
going home, seeing home, seeing their families and friends, and finding once more the
places in society that they left to serve their
country.
Personal.— Letters have been received
from the Rev. L. Smith and family. They
were visiting among friends in New England, and were expecting to be at Williams
College, to attend Commencement exercises,
about the Ist of August. Mr. Smith is a
graduate of that College. Four young men
belonging to the Islands expect to graduate
at that College this year, viz : Justin Emerson, N. Emerson, Thomas Gulick and Al-

honor and gratitude of our countrymen. If,
the praise due our marine, both domestic and foreign, it is not
our intention to reduce them into retirement
under the foliage of well-earned laurels ; on
the contrary, we wish to encourage them,
by a full appreciation of their past services,
to renewed exertions on this subject.
We are persuaded that there are few cuptains, regularly visiting our ports, who could
not earn an ever-green memory by the importation of some useful plant or animal
from other countries. No one could do this
so well, as they have facilities for transport
and the care of such objects which cannot be
commanded by mere passengers. For instance, deer, the whole host of insectiverous
birds, the edible frog, swans, besides other
animals of which I hey may become acquainted, to say nothing of seeds and plants.
Both China and California are uncommonly
rich in things of this kind, and, as our mariners have not been behindhand on former
occasions, they will not, we feel sure, be behindhand in continuing that frood reputation which their former good deeds have so
richly merited.
Now, here is a chance for distinction,
really worth more than cuff-bands or epaulettes to our marine officers, both of national
and merchant services, and if they miss immortality it is not our fault. Introduce but
one new and useful plant or animal into
these Islands and the thing is done. The
fountain of perpetual youth was a mere fable, that never immortalized any one; but
our receipt is a good one, and we earnestly
hope that it will induce many among our
mariner friends to lay hold of the matter,
that our future history may hand down a
long list of benefactors that nourished in the
early days of Kamehameha V, all of whom
were worthy of following in the footsteps of

Obliged by our position to be u maritime
people, it is fitting that we should be under
obligations to great sea-captains, and that
we should appreciate the blessings they have
conferred upon us. Perhaps a short review
of the past may enable us to do so justly.
According to native traditions, swine were
first introduced here from a foreign ship,
the officers of which "wore uniforms, cocked
hats and swords." In 1778, Captain Cook
introduced, for the first time, sheep and
swine of British breed, besides the melon,
pumpkin and onion. Shortly after, Captain
Colnet introduced sheep upon the Island of
Kauai. To Captain Vancouver we are indebted for goats, sheep, cattle, the orangetree, geese, nnd a variety of other precious
objects.
To Captain J. Manghan belongs,
we believe, the honor of having first introduced the Irish potato. To Capt. Cleveland,
an American, commander of the Lelia Byrd,
belongs the honor of having introduced
horses, in 1802 or 1803. They were sent as
a present to the " famous King Kamehameha," by the " good old Padre of San Borgia, Mariano Apolonario," of California.
Nor have we by any means exhausted
the list of those noble-hearted mariners who
have been at great pains and expense to enrich these Islands by valuable acquisitions of
useful animals and plants; but we have
said enough to prove that the former race
of sea-captains were not a whit behind those
of our own times in public spirit and an unselfish desire of benefiting others. As for
the miserable accusation that they also introduced diseases, not the worst of which
was the small-pox, they might as well be
accused of being wingless ! Writers about
the Islands are almost sure to tell us of such

but when it comes to be a matter of real information, lo! they are off on the interminable theme of their own contemptible exploits,

plants and animals, have won the lasting

Andrew Johnson and Jefferson Davis.
In December, of 1860, while the traitors
in Congress were deliberately preparing to
destroy the Republic, and when they had
finally resolved to steal the forts, and navyyards, and arsenals, to carry off the public
treasure, to violate oaths—in a word, to use
all the materials and means of the Government which had sheltered and protected
them, to consummate its overthrow—there
was only one Southern man bold and brave
enough to defy them ; only one to exnose
their treason ; only one to admonish them
of their guilt, and to declare his sacred limits of the Union. That man was Andrew
Johnson, of Tennessee. He began his conflict with the traitors on the 18th of December, 1860, and continued it until the session
in March, 1861. We have more than once
in these columns referred to that memorable
period. He was, beyond all question, the
most conspicuous character in it, as well because of his courage and ability as on account of the solitary and splendid position
he maintained, towering high above the
crowd of traitors. Thousands will remember those days, but none can forget the hauteur, the insolence, the indignation, and the
attempts to brow-beat Governor Johnson on
the part of the conspirators, as they were
forced to submit to his continued und fearless chastisement. When it was first intimated that he intended to take issue with
them, they resorted to cajolery, promises,
and at last to the most humiliating entreaties. He was threatened in secret at the
start, but finally, when, in utter defiance and
contempt alike of their bribes and their intimidations, he spoke out, the whole pack
was let loose upon him. Davis, Benjamin,
Toombs, Mason, Wigfall, Slidell, and poor
Joe Lane, having trained themselves for the
struggle, determined to bully and brain the
daring man who had audaciously spoken of
them in that high presence, and in the hearing of the men and women they had summoned to what they had resolved to be, and
what really was, fhe first scene of the rebellion. But in vain. Proudly through all he
bore himself, and heawl their taunts, their
jibes, their aiiuse, with calm and even unruffled temper, as one conscious of fhe rectitude of his course, and reckless of all consequences personal to himself. Where are
these same braggarts now ? Davis is a
prisoner at Fortress Monroe; Toombs an
outlaw by proclamation of the President ;
Mason and Slidell a pair of gentleman vagabonds in Paris, looking vainly to see the
shores which fhey left in the hope of returning despotically to rule. All—whether those
caught or running, whether those confined
in prisons or waiting to fly to foreign lands,
or living away from their own homes—all
these tyrannical traitors, all, all of them are
now at the mercy of that single Senator,
who, in 1861, denounced their treason and
predicted their overthrow.
At the present moment, when the whole
civilized world is watching the new phase of
the close of the rebellion presented in the
capture of Jefferson Davis, and he himself is
enclosed in the strong walls of FortresMonroe, the words addressed to him by An,

in the United States Senate, may be appro-
priately and profitably reproduced. They
are as follows:
"I was speaking of the proposition to
raise fifteen regiments in my own State,
which has been brought forward. Sir, as
far back as the battle of King's Mountain,
and in every war in which the Tights of the
people have been invaded, Tennessee—God
bless her—has stood by that glorious flag,
which was carried by Washington and followed by the gallant patriots and soldiers of
the revolution, even as the blood trickled
from their feet as they passed over the ice
and snow ; and under tbat flag, not only at
home, but abroad, her sons have acquired
honor and distinction, in connection with
citizens of other States of the Union. She
is not prepared to band with outlaws, and
make war upon that flag under which she
won her laurels. Whom are we going to
fight ? Who « invading Tennessee ? Conventions are got up; a reign of terror is
inaugurated ; and if, by the influence of a
subsidized and mendacious press, an ordinance taking the State out of the Confederacy can be extorted, those who make such
propositions expect to have an army ready,
to have their bands equipped, to have their
praetorian divisions ; then they will tell the
people that they must carry the ordinance
into effect, and join a Southern Confederacy
whether they will or not; they shall be
lashed on to the car of South Carolina, who
entertains no respect for them, but threatens
their institution of slavery unless they comply with her terms. Will Tennessee take
such a position as that? I cannot believe
it; I never will believe it; and if an ordinance of Secession should be passed by that
State under those circumstances, and an attempt made to force the people out of the
Union, as has been done in some other
States, J tell the Senate and the American
people that there are many in Tennessee whose
dead bodies will have to be trampled over before it can be consummated. [Applause in
the galleries.] The Senator from Mississippi [Jefferson Davis] referred to the flag of
his country; and I will read what he said,
so that I may not be accused of misrepresenting him:
' It may be pardoned to me, sir, who, in
my" boyhood was given to the military service, and who have followed that flag under
tropical suns and over Northern snows, if 1
here express the deep sorrow which always
overwhelms me when I think of turning
from the flag I have followed so long, for
which I have suffered in ways it does not
become me to speak of, feeling that henceforth it is not to be the banner I will hail
with the rising sun and greet as the sun
goes down; the banner which, by day and
night, I am ready to follow. But God, who
knows the hearts of men, will judge between you and us, at whose door lies the
responsibility of this.'
" There is no one in the United States
who is more willing to do justice to the distinguished Senator from Mississippi than
myself, and when I consider his early education, when I look at his gallant services,
finding him first in the Military School of
the United States, educated by his Government, taught the science of war at the expense of his country. tsilrrhf in \nvt> thr
Constitution, afterwards entering its service,
fighting beneath the stars and stripes to
which he has so handsomely alluded, winning laurels that are green nnd imperishable, and bearing upon his person scars that
are honorable, some of which have been
won at home, others of which have been
won in a foreign clime and upon other fields,
I would be the last man to pluck a feather
from his cap or a single gem from the chaplet that encircles his illustrious brow. But
when I consider his early associations, when
1 remember that he was nurtured by this
Government, that he fought for this Government, that he won Iwiwrs under the flag of
this Government, I cannot understand flow he
can be willing to /tail another banner, and
desert the one of his country, under which he
has won laurels and received honors. This is
a matter of taste, however ; but it seems to
me that, if I could not unshcath my sword
in vindication of the flag of my country, its
glorious stars and stripes, I would return the
sword to its scabbard ; I would never sheath
it in the bosom of my mother ; never ! never!
Sir, my own feelings in reference to that
flag arc such as must have filled the heart of
that noble son of South Carolina, Joel R.
Poinsett, when, nearly thirty years ago, in
an address to the people of Charleston, lie
ators who have
attacked me, in vindication
of myself. I have been attacked on all
hands, by some five or six, and may be attacked ajrain. All that I ask is that, in
making these attacks, they meet my positions, answer my arguments, refute my
facts. I care not for the number that may
have attacked me, I care not how many
may come hereafter. Feeling that I am
right—that argument, that fact, that truth
are on my side—l place them all nt defiance. Come one, come all; for I feel, in

Our neighbors, the Advertiser and Gazette,
reported most fully the proceedings of the
Fourth of July. The American portion of
the foreign community made most generous
provision for the due observance of the day.
Never was the day observed upon so extensive and expensive a style on the Sandwich
Islands. A general invitation was issued for
all foreigners to occupy a seat nt the amply
supplied tables.
The Rev. Dr. Gulick was orator of the
day, and a most eloquent oration was delivered by him. It has been published, together
with several other appropriate addresses, in
reply to the usual sentiments on such occasions. In the oration of Dr. Gulick there
was one thought that merits repetition, until Brother Jonathan and all other members

Hip first labor was to level thtfallen timber, to cleat
a place for a habitation, and cultivate a patch
of ground for the subsistence of his family.
When a little settlement had been formed by
himself and neighbors, his next care was to
build a school house at some snot where two
roads crossed each other, for the instruction
of his children in the rudiments of letters
and the teachings of Christianity. Reading, writing and arithmetic were the principal branches of knowledge, making the Bible the reading book in the primary schools.
It wits the Puritan principle to educate every child in the rudiments of learning, and
in scripture doctrines and history. As
Churches multiplied in the land, and the
want of an educated ministry began to be
felt, then a college was endowed for the
higher brunches of a liberal education. These
principles have been literally adhered to by
their descendants, wherever they have spread
themselves, down to the present time. Emigrants poured in from England and Scotland, families grew up and spread themselves
over the country, towns and villages multiplied, and industry reaped its reward in a
smiling plenty. Few became wealthy in
those early days, but industry and frugality
was sure to secure a competence, and squalid
lorest and burn off the
poverty was unknown.
At the time of the American Revolution,
a century and a half fom the landing of the
first pilgrims in New England, not thirty
thousand emigrants had come over to settle.
This was the original Puritan stock which
peopled America. They hnd increased at
that time to more than half a million, and
■were mostly confined to the north-eastern
States. And now, at a rate of increase
equaling the fecundity of Israel in Egypt,
their direct descendants number ten miliums,
and are spread over the whole breadth of tbe
continent, frqni Maine to California. Besides this direct line of descendants, all ol
whom can trace their pedigree to the immigrants, they have infused their blood more or
less into nearly every family of the land. I
speak now of the Northern States, for a distinct race and separate civilization took possession of the Southern portion of the country. They also may lie found scattered all
over the earth, in every city and seaport, and
engaged in every important enterprise. At
these Islands they are the holders of the
greatest share of foreign capital, which is developing the capabilities of the country, and
furnishing the revenue of the Kingdom.
In the United States they are the moving
power in all the great enterprises, civil, religious, scientific and military. They are heads
and professors of colleges, academies ami
schools of all kinds. They are directors
and stockholders in railroads, manufactures
and mining. Their ships whiten every
ocean, and moor in every port, and they have
given their civilization to the whole northern
portion of the nation. All other races in
the country become Puritanized in their descendants by being educated under the tuition of Puritan teachers.
What are t/ie characteristic tenets of the
Puritan faith ? They are not Calvinism,
as such—they are not Arminianism as distinctive from other creeds, for Puritanism is
not
denominational, but constitutes the spirProtestant Churches-
itual elements in all the

gence or piety, and their descendants are at
this day among the elite of the land. Their
Churches too have kept the faith of their
fathers, and with the English among them
constitute the Presbyterian Churches of
America. Both races freely fraternize one
with the other, and when living in proximity
unite in the same ecclesiastical connections.
This remarkable race of Christians has

these modern days. Their children are not

Nor in Church organization are they peculiar
to any form of Government. As before
stated, the English Puritans originated in
the Episcopal Church, and, as a body, they
would have continued there, had they not
been ejected for non-conformity in vestments
and rituals. Such as consented to conformity remained, though holding a faith in
common with those ejected. These were
driven forth into independency and Presbyterianism as a matter of necessity. In England they were mostly Calvinists until the
rise of the Wesleyans within the national
Church, for these were also Puritans in re-
•
by the Stuarts.
All these adhere to the great Protestant
principle of justification by faith ; the reception of tne Scriptures of the old and new
Testaments as the only rule of faith and
practice; and that no precept not there inculcated is binding upon the conscience of
the believer, as necessary to salvation. That
all Church ordinances not found in the scriptures are non-essentials to a true Church.
And that while not denying the validity of
Episcopal ordination, they maintain the
equal validity of Presbyterian ordination, as
the true manner of the early New Testament Churches, before prelacy became developed.
In regard to the Christian Sabbath, they
hold that the fourth command of the Decalogue is still binding upon the Church. That
as one of tho precepts of the Moral Law, it
has never been rescinded, and is to continue
binding on all as it was from the beginning,
at the creation of man. And that rest from
labors and worldly cares on one <Jay in seven
is essential to the moral and physical welfare us much as is tho observance of any
other divine law.
One other distinguishing feature of the
Puritan faith is that Regeneration is the
work of the Holy Spirit alone, on the mind
and heart of the subject, and that Baptism is
only the outward sign of the inward Spiritual grace ; just as the bread and wine of the
Lord's Supper symbolize the broken Body
and spilled Blood of the Atonement on the
Cross.
In a word, then, the tenets of Puritanism
are not denominational, for no sect was ever
named Puritan, but that common belief of
the pious in all Protestant denominations,
which being equally recognized by all as
scriptural, and not of human authority, are
essential to purity of faith and practice.
The denominational peculiarities of each
cct are considered non-essentials, and ought

Christian charity towards others.
While the English Puritans emigrated to
New England, ihere were also a portion of
the Scotch Church tlriven from their homes
by the attempt of the Stuarts to force the
prekitical ritual and rule upon them. These
emigrants settled mostly in the Middle States.

"
often asked, "do you ever obtain information
respecting seamen advertised in your paper?"
Very frequently we do. An instance of this
description occurred since the issue of our
last number, which is worthy of record :
Capt. Hammond, master of the Arctic, applied for information respecting Daniel C.
Gray, belonging to Salem, Mass., who left
home in September, 1881, on board ship
Andes, bound for China. He had not been
at home since that date, and the report was
that after leaving his ship in China he came
to the Sandwich Islands. While conversing
with Capt. H. respecting the young man, our
remarks attracted the attention of Capt.
Clements, master of the lumber vessel Constitution, from Puget Sound. Greatly to our
surprise, Capt. C. reported that this young
man, D. C. Gray, together with two others,
was drowned in the " Sound " last Christmas
day, while crossing over to the British coast.
The young men were in an Indian canoe.
At the time of his death he was known as
William Forsyth, but Capt. Clements was
confident that his real name was Daniel C.
Gray, for he had conversed with him respecting his friends and the manner of his
leaving home. Michael Smith was the name
of one of the other unfortunate men who
were drowned. The name of the other Capt.
C. could not recall.
As seamen read this* incident, we hope it
may suggest to their minds the importance
Music and Literature.
Hawaiian Mission Children's Society.
A German, who has had much experience
in teaching music in Honolulu, and is conversant with the musical talents of our people, recently informed us that there were
over 300 pianos (many of them of a superior quality,) and melodeons upon the Islands.
By almost every arrival from San Francisco,
Boston and England, new instruments are
imported. Among our foreign resident population there is a marked tendency to cultivate the musical talent. The Amateur Musical Society has had a good influence. The
practice of music, both vocal and instrumental, has had its influence among the native population. We rejoice to learn that
many of the better educated Hawaiians are
good performers on the melodeon and piano.
The missionaries have always encouraged
efforts of this nature, and in some of the
Churches good choirs have been organized.
It is gratifying also that our foreign resident
population is inclined to reading. Books
and periodicals of every description abound
in all parts of the Islands. Some possess
good private libraries, not large, of course,
but yet an amount of good reading matter
which is exerting a most happy influence
upon the rising generation. The Hawaiians
have now their two weekly 'newspapers,
A society among the children of the American Missionaries on the Islands has been in
existence about thirteen years. The Xlllth
Annual Report now lies before us. It is
customary for the members to address each
other as " cousins." The objects of the society are to keep up mutual and friendly correspondence with each other, preserve a record of their wanderings, and at the same
time aid to forward the good work of Missions. From the Treasurer's Report we learn
that during the past year the society expended 81,001,48. They support one Hawaiian Missionary at Marquesas, another at
Micronesia, and assist schools on these Islands. They hold monthly meetings, which
are reported as very interesting and entertaining. At these meetings correspondence
is read, and a manuscript newspaper, entitled
the Maile Wreath." The value and importance of the organization cannot be overestimated.
From the Corresponding Secretary's Report we take the liberty of quoting the following paragraphs, respecting the soldiercousins in the American war
" Under this head we will place first Col.
S. C. Armstrong, (though Capt. Conde has
already been spoken of,) because he so faithfully remembers us in all his wanderings,
and even snatches time amidst all his multitudinous cares to write the Society, or sends
directions for his home letters to be shared
by us. His account of Thanksgiving in
camp, published in the " Maile Wreath,"
was enjoyetl by all who read that paper and
his last letter, dated in camp during Christmas and New Year's week, was a most valuable one, giving much information as to the
amount and kind of work he has to perform
in commanding a regiment. Our Cousin is
now Colonel in the regulararmy, Bth United
States colored troops, 25th Army Corps. At
the issue of our last report he was stationed
at Port Royal, South Carolina. During the
past year he went on an expedition to Florida, and returned safely. At the opening of
Grant's campaign south of the James, he
was recalled to Virginia. Here in the
trenches before Petersburg he spent some
months of most laborious service. He fell
ill from exposure and the want of sleep, and
was in the field hospital a few weeks, but
soon resumed his station. In March of this
year he took a furlough and visited New
York, and at last accounts had again taken
his position at the front, and we confidently
hope we shall be able to record that he was
one of the victorious favored heroes who entered proud Richmond and witnessed the
finale of the war.
June 10.—Sincereading this report, news
has been received confirming our hopes, but
the particulars are meagre, for our Cousin
wrote with his left hand, his right arm having been broken. He was in Fortress Monroe Hospital, and had received while there
his commission as Brevet Brigadier General.
Soon after our last annual meeting the sad
news was received of the death of Lieuten-
which are extensively circulated. The number of persons among foreigners and natives
who are able to write interesting and able
articles for the newspapers is quite large.
These facts speak well for the present and
future of the Hawaiian race. Those influencing the public tastes of the people in music and reading may well take courage and
press forward. Music, reading and genuine

Joseph C. Forbes, instantly killed on the
31st of May, 1864, at Dallas,"Georgia, by a
rebel sharp-shooter. His remains were embalmed through the efforts of his brother
William, and sent to his parents in Kendalville, Indiana. So here we add a second
name to Hawaii's noble dead " from our
ranks. "
William T. Forbes, who was transferred
during the year 1863 from the Army of the
Potomac to the West, was engaged in many
battles, among them Missionary Ridge and
Lookout Mountain, participated in all Sherman's noted campaigns, went with him in
the world-renowned march through Georgia,
and was a while in Savannah. While there
he was virtually Governor, being appointed
Assistant Adjutant General and Chief of
Staff with Major General Geary."
ant
Negro Suffrage.-In
glancing over files
of the American papers, the most prominent
question of discussion appears to be the
status of the negro. Shall he, or shall he
not be admitted to all the civil and political
rights of the white inhabitants ? This is
the question. •Of course there is a great difference of opinion upon the subject. Such
men as Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner, and a host of leading men of the Republican party, take the ground that the negro should now be permited to vote and enjoy all the civil and political rights and privileges of the white population. In our opinion these men occupy the only consistent and
correct ground. The negro has nobly fought
for the country, and now not to allow him all
the privileges and rights enjoyed by his fellow soldiers, would be wrong. A loyal negro, true to his country and flag, is surely as
good a citizen as a rebel, although he may
have recently taken the oath of allegiance.
We hope Americans will start aright this
time. Give the colored man a fair start, and
let him try for himself. We believe most
fully in the doctrine that all men should enjoy equal civil and political rights. The
tendency is towards that point in all lands.
Revolutions go not backward.
We are happy to welcome J. Q. A.
Warren, Esq., late editor of the " California
Stock and Wool Journal." Mr. Whitney
writes us under date of San Francisco, May
Ist, bespeaking for a brother of the editorial
fraternity a kind welcome. We are always
glad to meet with those whose services are
devoted to " enlightening the public " through
the columns of some daily,weekly or monthly
journal. Editors may be given to abusing
one another before the public, but it is generally the case that, like the two lawyers who
were given to " abuse before the Court," in
private they were very good friends. We
hope our editorial brother will meet with a
kind reception wherever he travels upon the
Islands.

the newly appointed U. S. Consul to Japan.
While on shore, the guest of Dr. Wood, he
remarked (he is from North Carolina,) that
there " was a majority of 60,000 against secession at the time the leaders forced the
State of North Carolina out of the Union,

Amherst, Mass., March 2d, 18K4. at tho funeral
of the Rev. Prof. Edward Hitchcock, D. 1)., L.

The Reverend Professor chose for his text
Ist Kings, 4:33. •' And he spake of trees from
the cedar tree that is in Lebanon, even unto
the hyssop, that springeth out of the wall:
he spake also of beasts and of fowls, and of
creeping things, and of fishes." A most apt
and appropriate text from which to draw
suggestions, at the funeral of one who had
devoted his long and useful life to the study
of natural history or the physical sciences.
The perusal of this admirable discourse revives in our mind the most pleasing recollection of one of America's noblest sons.
Few men on the continent of America have
done so much for science as Prof. Hitchcock.
He was passionately devoted to the study of
Geology and affiliated sciences. However
ardently he loved his favorite studies, yet he
ever walked humbly with God, and most
reverently bowed to the God of Divine Revelation. He saw " God in Christ reconciling the world unto himself." His work,

Many of our readers having contributed at various times to the funds of the U.
S. Sanitary Commission, will be interested
in the perusal of the following letter from
the Rev. Dr. Bellows, President of the
United Stales Sanitary Commission, ad-
dressed to Dr. Wood
:
L'bited States camtaky Commissios, 828 J
Bsoadwat,New Yore, May 16,1886. i
Dr. R.W. Wood, Honolulu—Dear Sir —I
have to-day had the pleasure of receiving a
draft from Sather & Co., for seven hundred
and twenty-three dollars and fifty cents,
($723,50,) being the proceeds of the sale of
$500 in coin, sent by you to the Saritary
Fund. In acknowledging this generous donation I congratulate you and all the friends
of our case in Honolulu upon the glorious
success of our arms and the essential finish
of the Confederacy ! The capture of Jeff.
Davis in his wife's petticoat has added a ludicrous finale to the capture and surrender of
Lee's and Johnston's forces. All here feel
that the work of'crushing the Rebellion is
essentially done, and that we have now only
to close up the wounds the war has made.
There seems no reason to fear any great difficulty in this. The South knows itis beaten,
and that Slavery is dead, and seems ready
to accept the fact. We do not anticipate
either a guerrilla war or a long public disturbance. We expect the States to gravitate
back into their old positions— minus the pe-
culiar institution.
The Sanitary Commission will continue
its work for at least a year, in collecting pensions, looking after disabled soldiers, and
seeing the returning army safely restored to
civil and domestic life. We shall establish
temporary homes and sanitaries, which will
demand a good deal of money. Thanks for
your present help. With hurried regards to
all friends in the Sandwich Islands, I am
your obliged friend,
Henry W. Bellows,
President U. S. Sanitary Commission.

FRIEND, AUGUST, 1865.
Many of our readers having contributed to the funds of the United States Christian Commission, will be interested in reading the following extracts from a letter writthe Editor, by Mr. James Daly, well
known in Honolulu :
ten to
Camp
Stobbmax, near Washington, D C, June 12,1866.
Dear Bro. Damon:—*** I am in charge
of the Christion Commission Station in the
Ist army corps, Hancock's Veterans. We
live in tents. With such assistance as I
could pick up, I built a large chapel for this
station. It will seat 400 easily. On the
day it was completed a tornado came, and
away it went. The great canvas roof went
up like a balloon, taking the frame with it.
However, I built it over again, and I hope
it will stay now. This humble canvas
chapel has been the means, under God's favor, of much good. We have preaching in
it every night. I know of several conversions, several re-conversions of backsliders,
and there is now a quiet but deep interest
prevailing through the camp. I have nowhere seen better prayer meetings than we
have seen here. Four hundred men in
"
prayer meeting is a goodly number. Men
are coming from noted gambling tables to
converse with me upon the soul's interest.
I hope some day to be permitted to sit
on a Sabbath in the old place in the Bethel,
and to hear your voice again, as in the years
gone by.
My work here will close about the Ist of
Jnly. Then I will return north for vacation,
and preparation for my next Senior year.
How gloriously God has vindicated our
cause. The collapse of the proud rebellion
is completed, and so sudden it surpasses all
expectation.
I saw the great review of the armies of
Grant and Sherman in Washington last
month. I saw, I suppose, 160,000 veterans
under arms. It was a splendid pageant.
Now the great armies are rapidly and noiselessly melting away to enjoy their accom-
plished work.

Late News.—New York, June 27.—The
Herald's Richmond and Petersburg correspondent says that General Terry, commanding at Richmond, has issued an order announcing that slavery has ceased to exist in
Virginia ; all State and municipal laws restricting the liberty of colored persons have
become obsolete ; and hereafter colored people will enjoy the same personal liberty as
whites, and be subject only to the same restrictions. The punishment of vagrancy,
however, will not be permitted on the part of
negroes any more thaitsßn that of whites.
The testimony of colored persons will be received in all cases before the Military Courts
in this department.
Gen. Hartsuff, Commanding at Petersburg, has forbidden, in an official order, the
holding of any meetings by the planters to
establish a fixed price for the labor of negroes, nor to make distinctions prejudicial to
their interests. No difference in the rate of
labor by whites or blacks will be allowed.

THR FRIEND.
JITNK I, 1865.
It affords us gratification to record the
fact that every possible effort has been made
by loyal Americans and others in Honolulu
to honor the memory and becomingly notice
the death of President Lincoln. The sad
intelligence was received May Sth, and on
the following day at 12 o'clock M. there was
at Fort street Church the largest
gathering of foreigners, for religious purposes,
we have ever seen in Honolulu. Mr. McBride, our Minister Resident, appropriately
stated the object for which the assembly had
been called together. The choir followed
with appropriate music. Select portions of
Scripture were read, and a prayer offered by
the Rev. S. C. Damon. His Honor, Chief
Justice Allen, then addressed the audience,
and was followed by the Rev. E. Corwin.
Their addresses have already been published.
All the exercises were most solemn and impressive.
Religious exercises becoming the occasion
were also held in the Roman Catholic and
Reformed Catholic Churches.
The Hawaiian Government ordered the
National Flag lowered, and all officers to
wear crape for fourteen days. We cannot
imagine any observance, omitted, the performance of which could have added a
deeper solemnity to the day, or been the!
occasion of showing additional respect to the
Illustrious Dead.
Events of such momentous magnitude as
the closing of the civil war in America, and
the death of President Lincoln, occur but
seldom in the slow progress of centuries.
The Great Rebellion had most marvelously
disturbed the elements ol society and trade
throughout the world, and now to have,
from the receding thunder clouds of war, an
angry flash prostrates the noble man at the
head of the great Republic, makes the civilized world stand aghast. We hope the
waves of political strife and civil war will
soon subside, and when the elements do become tranquil and calm, may it be in obedience to Him who said to the troubled waters
of the Galilean Lake, eighteen hundred
years ago, " Peace, be still."
May 24th,
Queen Victoria's
Bibthday.
Mr. Green, H. B. M's Acting Commissioner
and Consul General, gavea lunch at the Town
Hall on this occasion. It was an exceedingly
pleasant gathering of the citizens and sub-
jects of various nationalities. Mr. Green
merits the thanks of the community for thus
observing this event. It is well to pour a
little oil upon the troubled waters. Americans nre always happy to honor Queen
Victoria. Not only is she a good Queen,
but a good mother, and a good Christian.
We respect and love her. Her influence has
been good in all circles and walks of life.
Her Court has been one of the purest that ever
existed on earth, and the world has felt its
influence. " Long live Queen Victoria."
We have received letters from Rev. L.
Smith, H. M. Whitney, Esq., and John H.
Cole, Esq., in all of which there are references to the profound impression made upon
the people of San Francisco, by the announcement of President Lincoln's death.

In the administration of the affiiirs of this
world God is ever doing and permitting
things to be done, the reasons for which cannot be seen by short-sighted mortals. Such
is God's method of proceeding, that we are
continually compelled to take many things
on trust. Faith in Him is the great lesson
which He is ever teaching mankind. He
has drawn an impenetrable veil before our
eyes, shutting out the future from our view.

impressively these scriptural declarations and
those of my text are illustrated by events
which have recently transpired on the other
side of the globe. All the loyal people of
that great country, stretching from the shores
of the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
Gulf to the Lakes, were preparing for such
a day of thanksgiving and jubilee as never
had been .witnessed on the Western Continent. The national feeling which, during
four years of civil war had been repressed,
was rising, and about to burst forth in such
scenes and shouts ofrejoicing as would have
made the " welkin ring." The dove ofpeace
which had, during those four long years, been
confined to the ark,rocked and tossed upon the
troubled waters of civil strife, political contentions and cruel war, had now been released, and with the olive branch in her
mouth, was winging her flight over mountains and valleys, broad savannahs and
boundless prairies. The good news was
flashed with lightning speed over the land
and the world. The dark clouds were rolling away, and the sun of the nation's glory
was beginning to shine, and the rainbow of
peace was distinctly seen spanning a continent, as in days of yore, when lo ! from the
receding black clouds of secession, treachery

these outward manifestations. That power
was prayer—the prayers, too, of the poor.

the White House at Washngton.
How intensely interesting the fact that
.while he was thus occupied with the great
and momentous affairs of thirty millions of
people—of whom four or five millions were
in open rebellion, and a million more were
girded as soldiers, yet even amidst all these
cares he did not neglect the poor who were lib
neighbors, as the following incident will show:
A newspaper correspondent from Chicago
one day dropped m upon Mr. Lincoln, and
found him busy counting greenbacks. " This,
sir," said the President, in his cheerful way,
" is something out of my usual line ; but a
President of the United States has a multiplicity of duties not specified in the Constitution or Acts of Congress. This is one of
them. This money belongs to a poor negro,
who is porter in one of the Departments,
(the Treasury) who is at present ill with the
small-pox. He is now in the Hospital, and
could not draw his pay because he could not
sign his name. I have been at considerable
trouble to overcome the difficulty and get it
for him, and have at length succeeded in
cutting red tape, as your newspaper men say.
1 am now dividing the money and putting
by a portion labeled, in an envelope, with
my own hands, according to his wish." Such
unostentatious acts of kindness need no comment. Our Savior said, when upon earth,
shall give to drink unto one
"ofAnd whosoever
these little ones a cup of cold water only
in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto
you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."
I doubt not that the good man is now reaping his reward in glory for befriending the
poor colored porter who could not write his
name—sick with the small-pox in the Hospital. It is an interesting fact that the American citizen at home and abroad, however
humble his lot, was not forgotten by him.
When it was reported at Washington through
the correspondence of our Minister, to Mr.
Seward, that a sailor had been ill-treated at
the Marquesas Islands, Mr. Lincoln immediately directs that five hundred dollars in
gold be devoted to the purchase of presents,
to/be distributed among Hawaiian Missionaries and others who had rescued the unfortunate man.
It is an interesting fact that the very last
public address which Mr. Lincoln ever made,
March 17th, was in reference to colored soldiers being employed by the rebels. He
remarked that he hoped they would try the
experiment In all his efforts in behalf of
the colored people of America, he has endeavored to manage the subject with an enlightened regard to the highest Christian
duty to his country and to God. Having
shown that Mr. Lincoln was actuated as a
public officer by Christian principle, 1 am
fully confident that he was truly an experimental Christian, one whose Christianity did
not begin and end in a mere formal acknowl-

He was on a visit to Washington, and had
made an appointment to call upon the President at the White House, at five o'clock in
the morning. Says Mr. Adams, " Morning

The following incident, however, sets forth
Mr. Lincoln's views upon the question of
vital godliness, in the very strongest light:
Several months before his ever-to-be-lamented
death, a gentleman called upon him on business. After the business was closed and
they were about to part, the gentleman said
to the President, " On leaving home a friend
requested me to ask Mr. Lincoln whether he
loved Jesus." The gentleman makes the
following report : " The President buried
his face in his handkerchief, turned away
and wept." He then turned and said, " When
I left home to take the chair of state I requested my countrymen to pray for inc. I
was not then a Christian. When my son
died—the severest trial of mv life—l was
not a Christian. But when f went to Gettysburgh, and looked upon the graves of our
dead heroes who had fallen in defense of
their country, I then and there consecrated
myself to Christ. Ido love Jesus." This
simple and touching confession needs no
comment. It opens to the world the heart
and religious experience of the good man.
The people felt that he was honest in all hi-t
dealings with them, and so he was equally
honest with himself and God. These few
simple utterances, welling up from the depths
of his heart, and accompanied with tears,
will ever be cherished by Christians of every
name and sect as the most precious sayings
of his life. They touch the tendcrest chord
in the Christian's heart. Christians of every
name will ever regard him as a brother beloved, but departed, and when thinking of
him as departed the language of the Burial
Service will not be inappropriate ; "It hath
pleased Almighty God, in His wise Provi-of
dence to take out of this world the soul
our deceased Brother!"

pleading to prove his adherence to the principles of Christianity and the doctrines of
the New Testament. No, his Christian, as
well as his public and political character, is
known and read of all men. With him
there was no reserve or concealment. His
character was perfectly transparent. His
faults as well as his virtues were equally apparent,

people, who were expecting the presenco of

-' Hislire was gentle sutl the elements
So mixed in him that Nature might stsnd up
Aod say to all the world. This was a man."
In turning our thoughts from a contemplation of his character to our bleeding country, the question forces itself upon every
thoughtful mind, what will be the effect of
Abraham Lincoln's assassination upon the
Nation ? Our latest dates afford us, as yet,
no facts by which we can satisfactorily answer this question. Time must determine.
Our minds must for the present find consolation in dwelling upon the great truth that
God lives and reigns, and that He is able and
will make the wrath of man to praise Him."
"We
may also recall to mind some of those
pages of history wherein somewhat similar
events are recorded. When Brutus and his
fellow-assassins smote down Cresar in the
Senate at Rome, they supposed that with
Caesar's death Caesar's influence would no
longer be felt. They were disappointed.
Caesar disappeared, but, exclaims Cicero,
the acts of Casar's life, his writings,
I'hisAllwords,
his promises, his thoughts, are
more powerful after his death than if he
were still alive." So I trust, and doubt not,
it will be with the life, writings, words, promises, thoughts of Abraham Lincoln. His
blood has stamped an impress upon these
which will immeasurably increase their value
throughout all coining time.
When the hired assassin, Balthazar Gerard, brought to an untimely end the eventful life of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, on the 10th of July, 1584,Philip 11.,
all the enemies of civil and religious liberty, imagined that with the death of the
Prince of Orange would end his usefulness.
But O, how disappointed were these men !
In the beautiful language of Motley, " The
Prince was entombed amid the tears of a
whole nation. Never was a more extensive,
unaffected and legitimate sorrow felt at the
death of any human being. As long as he
lived he was the guiding star of a whole
brave nation, and when he died the little
children cried in the streets." The Commonwealth which William had liberated
forever from Spanish tyranny continued to
exist as a great and flourishing Republic
during more than two centuries, under the
successive stadtholderates of his sons and
descendants. So 1 doubt not a similar result will follow the assassination of the il«
lustrious man whose most unexpected death
we now lament. He died the martyr to Liberty. He was assassinated by the hand of
Booth, but it was negro-chattle slavery
which nerved that arm and prompted that
basest of crimes in the annals of nations.

112th of April, 1861, Booth shot President
.Lincoln on the 14th of April, 1865. The
same bad animus that first struck down the
flag in '61 fired the assassin's bosom when
(he smote down the President, Commanderin-Chief of all the military and naval forces
of the Republic. No powers of metaphysical
analysis can separate the two. Perhaps it
was needed that this crime of crimes should
be perpetrated to arouse the minds of the
American people to the awful enormity of
the crime of slavery and treason. The deed
has been accomplished, and henceforth and
forever, in the minds of all loyal Americans
and lovers of liberty throughout the. world, a
stigma has been fastened upon the crime
of slavery and treason which can never be
wiped away. However much we may pity
the unfortunate dupes of the leaders of that
rebellion, the deeds of the instigators and
leaders can never be palliated, for their crimes
all culminated in Booth's assassination of
Abraham Lincoln. How the perpetrator of
that crime shall be punished remains to be
seen, but woe be unto those who arouse the
wrath of a nation of thirty millions of people ! Solomon compares the wrath of a King
to " the roaring of a lion," and to " messengers of death ;" but to what shall be compared
the people's wrath! Mr. Lincoln couki not
execute that wrath ! He found it, from the
overflowing kindness of his nature, almost
impossible to punish the guilty. Perhaps
there was no trait of his character to which
his enemies took more exception, and over
which his friends more deeply mourned. It
sometimes seriously embarrassed the regular
administration of justice. The officers ol
the army and the Government said it was
useless to arrest offenders and traitors, for
Mr. Lincoln would pardon them. At the last
meeting of the Cabinet, held only the day
before his death, Mr. Lincoln expressed his
determination to deal in the most liberal manner with the rebellious States. As it has
been well remarked, " The great, capacious,
manly heart.of Abraham Lincoln was generous enough to have embraced all within the
forgiveness of its loving nature, and in their
madness they have killed him." The best
friend of the rebels was assassinated by one.
of themselves, and no doubt if he could have
again spoken he would have prayed in the
language of our Savior on the Cross, " Father forgive them, they know not what they
do."
The event to which yourattention has now
been called will not pass into oblivion and be
forgotten. It was not done in a corner, but
the crime was perpetrated, as it were, in the
presence of a gazing crowd of spectators infinitely larger than that gathered in the theater where, it took place. Abraham Lincoln
was assassinated on the world's wide stage.
There was a great cloud of witnesses. Now
what shall be its influence upon the Nation
and the world, we know not now, but we
shall know hereafter. It will be overruled
for good. How unspeakably thankful we all
should be that he was spared thus long to the
Nation, even to see a virtual ending of the
rebellion. God permitted this stunning blow
to fall for the accomplishment of some wise
purpose. I do believe that in after years and
ages it will be seen to have been necessary

Alcohol the Devil in a Liquid state.
A celebrated American Temperance Lecturer, closing one of his addresses, thus said :
"In short, good friends, alcohol is just the
devil in a liquid state." Many a poor drunkard, dying with delirium tremens, fully realizes the truth of this assertion. Shakspeare
fancied that even in wine the Devil was
present, although invisible j hence he says :
"O, thou invisible spirit of wine! if thou

This question will not be satisfactorily decided until the negro has secured to him all
those civil, social and religious rights which
white men claim for themselves. The sooner
nations and individuals yield that point, the
sooner the negro question will be decided.

Mrs. Kate M. Whitney, Secretary Ladies'
Hawaiian Christian Commission :
Madam i—ln the hour of our deepest perplexity for means to carry on the work of
Christ, our treasury was replenished and our
weak faith was strengthened by your generous remittance of $5,500. The value of
the draft is exceeded by the value of the example of the unity of all true Christian ptu
triots, however scattered over the earth, ana
of the power of faith and love to wing their
way over oceans and continents when Christ
and country calls for aid. The Christian
women of America have done much to soften
the rigors of war, and to infuse into our armies the gentle and powerful influence of the
love of Christ; but it is fitting that those
who have carried the banner of the cross to
heathen lands, and planted it in triumph on
the fallen fortress of idolatry, should have
the honor of leading the Churches at home
by an example of liberality on behalf of their
native country, which I doubt not will stir
us all up to renewed efforts in our Blessed
Redeemer's cause. You will rejoice to learn

(For the Friend.]
Hawaiians
Mourn the Death of President
Lincoln.
Maui, May 15,1865.
Dear Editor :—We have just read the
details of the sad tragedy at Washington.
Wt have not heard what were the feelings of
our friends in Honolulu, or how they manifested them ; but here, though we have not
the numbers nor the opportunity for public
display, there was grief heartfelt and manifest when we heard the news, with irrepressible tears. We have all lost a friend, a
father.
I saw tears in the eyes of natives when
they heard the sad news. Said one, 1 am
grieved as if I heard of the death "of my
King." Well may they mourn, for Lincoln
was the true, single-hearted friend of man, of
all men, of the poor, the despised, the crushed.
How deep must have been the grief of the
poor negroes who have so long hailed " Alassa
Linkum " as their deliverer, and whom last
New Year he greeted with such unexpected
warmth. Better for the dying man, those
tears of tbe poor, than all the rest of the
mourning of his people. For their sakes,
will Christ have assured him, " Inasmuch as
you did this unto one of the least of these,
my brethren, you did it unto me."
God grant that this terrible stroke may incite the nation to no vindictiveness. May
they rather, humbling themselves before the
Lord, repent of their past complicity with
slavery, and of their disposition even yet to
make some sort of terms with it. Aroused
by this culminating act of its malignity, may
they at length, as a whole people, see revealed the depths of its diabolical villainy,
and on the grave of their martyred leader,
before the L° T4. vowrelentlessly to extirpate
DEPARTURES.
May

Each the idolized and successful leader of hisRepublic, in a mortal struggle with the principle of despotism, each

Loyal Americans in England.—I am
not dazzled with the glitter of royally, but I
am forced to feel a sympathizing apprecia-
tion of those sentiments which underlie the
most fixed and unfaltering loyalty. When I
was in a vast assembly recently, not less
than ten thousand being present, the choir
sang "God Save the Queen." It was in the
Crystal Palace, where hats were worn, and
at the first sound of the tune, every man rose
and uncovered. I could not help doing the
same thing. And I was conscious, moreover, of having in my bosom the same warm
love for the idea and the fact of Government in our free Republic. This is something which the subject of a kingdom cannot
understand. He does not see a king or a
queen, or any sacred personality, and hence
he doubts the fact of government. Every
loyal American can assure the world that Am
Government is his Queen; that this impersonal and invisible thing is a sovereignty in
his appreciation ; that for this great reality
he is willing to suffer, and, if need be, to die.
America is proving to-day that Government
is a fixed idea, and a real thing, however it
may lack the charm of a royal family. May
God hold us firmly up to the great experiment, that we may prove to the world that
Government in the interest of the people
alone is not a dream, but a demonstrated
fact.—Am. cor. in England.
About 1500 children are already attending
the public Schools in Charleston, S.
C. There has been no parallel to this fact
in the history of any captured city in the insurrectionary States.

News!
On the mofning of the 27th of April, the
Archer, Captain Cressy, arrived, bringing the
glorious news of the surrender of Lee's army
to General Grant on the Bth of April. The
terms were those proposed by General Grant.
For details of the long series of Union victories, we must refer our readers to the columns
of the newspapers published here and elsewhere, but we cannot refrain from making an
allusion to the great and momentous events
which are now transpiring in America. The
grand collapse has come somewhat earlier
than we expected, although we were confident
what the end would be. It has never been
our object to publish long extracts from the
American papers, giving the details of sieges,
battles, surrenders, victories or defeats, but
when we have written (or spoken) it has never
been in favor of what we honestly regarded
the most unprovoked and wicked rebellion
which ever existed. The idea that it might
succeed by any combination of circumstances
has always filled our mind with the most
gloomy forebodings. But thanks be unto
God it has not succeeded.
It is gratifying to see that Americans in
Honolulu, in every possible way, are disposed
to express their most hearty rejoicings. The

rope, but the god, either by a trick of the
people or priests,'or from the difficulties
which the inequalities of the rock presented,
ascended with extreme difficulty. " The
god will never reach the summit of the pali,"
said the kahunas, " if the Chief continues to
walk before him. The god ought to go first,
by right of power, and the Chief below and
after him, to push at the lower end, otherwise
we will never succeed in overcoming his resistance." The great Chief Kohaokalani
complied with the advice of the Priests,
placed himself under the god, and pushed
him from below. Instantly the Priests and

story of Koihala.
Koihala reigned at Kau. He was a great
Chief, and perhaps the whole island recognized his authority. An abuse of power
hastened his death. He had commanded
the people of Kau to carry him food upon
the plateau of Punaluu, at a place known
us Puuonuhe. A band of men set out with
pounded taro, (poi.) enveloped in leaves of
ihe ki, called la'i, from the two words lav
and ki. Arriving at the top of the plateau,
which is very high, they learn that the
Chief has set out for Kaalikii, ten leagues
from Puuonuhe, and thathe has ordered them
to carry provisions to this remote place. As
soon as they-have arrived there, orders are
sent them to go as far as Waiohukini, a half
hour's walk farther in the same direction,
and under the great pali of Malilele, on the
beach. They depart. On arriving at Waiohukini, they receive orders to go to join the
Chief at Kalae. There was the great pali
to be climbed again, and two leagues more to
travel. When they had reached the Cape
of Kalae, which is the southernmost point
of tbe Hawaiian group, they were sent to
find the Chief at the village of Mahana.
But he had departed from it to Paihaa, a
village situated near Kaalualu, a little bay,
where the vessels of the country still anchor.
They were at last to find the tyrant. Exasperated, dying of hunger, indignant at the
cruel manner in which the Chief made sport
of their toil, the carriers sat down on the
grass and deliberated. At once they decide
that they will consume the provisions, without leaving anything for a Chief who amuses
himself so strangely in fatiguing his people,
(hooluhi hewa.) They resolve, besides, to
carry him bundles of stones instead of taro.
The doom of Koihala is pronounced; his
unsupportable yoke is to fall. The determined conspirators, after having assuaged
their hunger, depart, and soon arrive with a
dejected air before the Chief, between Paihaa
and Kaalualu. " Prince," said they, " here
are thy servants with thy provisions." They
humbly deposit at his feet the loads enveloped in la'i. The bundles are opened, and
then the scene changes. These people, apparently half dead, suddenly become like
furious lions, who prepare to devour their
prey. They arm themselves with stones,
ana make them hail upon Koihala and his
suite, who perished at the same time. Two
other great Chiefs of the island were slain
by the same people. The one was killed nt

These revolts against the Chiefs have
given rise to several proverbial expressions,

of Kiilcikini.
He was a Chief of the olden time. On
the edge of the sea, between Kealikii and
Pohue, the Ayaves are engulfed under the

from the shore. The water spouting to an

Chief, Kaleikini, closed the mouth of the
gulf by the aid of enormous rocks, which he
caused to be rolled by the natives. One can
plainly see that ihis hole has been closed by
the hands of men. There still remains a
little opening through which the water escapes, hissing to a height of forty or fifty
feet. Kaleikini closed ;it Kohala, on the
coast of Nailima, a volcanic mouth like that
of Kau. On the height of Honokane he
silenced the roarings of a cascade by turning
its course. At Maui Hikina, he strengthened in its foundations the hill of Puuiki,
which the high tides caused to shake. For
this purpose he introduced into the caves of
Puuiki an enormous rock, which arrested
the fury of the sea and caused the shaking
of the hill to cease. For these exploits and
many similar ones Kaleikini was called a

Documents ou the Province of Punn.
According to the common tradition, the
province of Puna, two centuries ago was
still a splendid country, possessing a sandy
soil, it is true, but very favorable to vegetation, and not presenting in its roads any asperity for the feet. The Hawaiians of our day
report that they learned from their ancestors
that their great-grandfathers had seen the
arrival of the volcano at Puna. Here, in a
few words, is the tradition, such as it is preserved by the natives:
Legend of Krliikuku.
This great Chief reigned in Puna. He
made a voyage to the Island of Oahu.
There he met with a prophet ofKauai, by the
name of Kaneakalau, who asked him who
he was. " I am," replied the Chief, "Kehikuku, of Puna." The Prophet asked him
then what was the nature of his country.
The Chief said, " My country is charming.
There is found there abundance ; there are
only sandy plains to be seen, where everything grows wonderfully." " Well," replied
the Prophet, "go, return to thy beautiful
country ; thou wilt find it desolated. Pele
has made of it a heap of ruins, the trees have
descended from the mountains towards the
sea, the ohia and the pandanus are on the
shore. Thy country is no longer habitable."
The Chief replied: " Prophet of evil, if
what yon tell me i? trup, you shall live; but
if, on my return to my country, 1 prove the
falsity of your predictions, I will return for
the express purpose, and you shall die by my
hand." Not being able, in spite of his incredulity, to forget the terrible prophesy,
Keliikuku set sail for Hawaii. Arriving on
the coast of Hamakua, he landed, and traveled a few days on foot. From the heights
of Hilo, at the village of Makahanaloa, ho
perceived in the distance all his province
overrun with chaos and a prey to fire and
smoke. In despair, the unfortunate Chief
hung himself, on the very spot where he had
first beheld the frightful spectacle. This
tradition relating to the meeting of Keliikuku and Kaneakalnu, is still sometimes
chained by the kanakas. It was reduced to
verses, which the ancients sung. It is becoming forgotten every day, nnd in a few
years there will not remain a trace of it.
Whether the prediction was made or not,
the fact is that Puna has lieen ravaged by
the action of volcanoes.
Legend of the Chief Huu.
The high Chief Hua, when he was at
Maui, said to Uluhoomoe, his Kahuna, that
he wanted uaus'' from the mountains.
peculiar to the islands.
" Uau" is a large bird
Uluhoomoe replied that there were no uaus
in the mountains, nnd that all the birds had
gone to sea. Hua, getting into a passion,
said to his priest, " If I send my men to the
mountains, nnd they find uaus, then thou
shalt die." After this threat, the Chief ordered his attendants to go and hunt these
birds. They obeyed, but instead of going
to the mountains they went to fish with nets
on the shore, and caught many birds of different kinds, among which were uaus and
uli/is. On returning to the palace, they declare to the Chief that they have hunted in
the mountains. Hua caused his priest to be
called, and said to him, " Here are birds
from the mountains ; thou shalt die." Ulahoomoe smelt the birds, and said to the
Chief, These birds do not come from the
mountains, they have a sea smell." Hua,
supported by his men, persisted in saying,
as he believed, that they came from tint
mountains, and he repeats his sentence:
shalt die." Uluhoomoe replied, " I
" Thou
shall have a proof in my favor, if you let me
open these birds in your presence." The
Chief agTeed to it. They found little fish in
the stomachs of the birds. " See my witness," said the Kahuna ; these birds come
from the sea." Hua, all in confusion, flew
into a terrible rage, and caused Uluhoomoe
to be murdered on the spot. The gods
avenged the death of the priest by sending a
dreadful famine upon the island of Maui,
"
"
-
and then upon Hawaii. Hua, thinking to
escape the celestial vengeance, went to Hawaii to escape the scourge, but a famine still
more terrible pursued him there. The Chief
ran in vain through all parts of the island,
and died of hunger in the temple of Makeaneha, Kohala. His bones, after death,
shriveled and shrunk up beneath the fires of
a burning sun, to which his carcass was exposed. It is this that has given rise to the
Hawaiian verse, quoted by every mouth te
recall the famine which took place under the
Chief Hua, a verse which no one has understood, and which has never been written correctly : "Koele na iwi o Hua i ka la."
(" The bones of Hua are shrunk or dried in
�I II X
the sun.") On the Island of Hawaii there
places which arc called by the
name of this celebrated Chief. At Kailua,
at the hamlet of Puaa ekolu, a pretty place,
known by the name of Mooniohua, recalls
one of the episodes of the misery of Hua.
It was there that one day, running after food
which he could never overtake, he fell
asleep, overcome by fatigue and want. The
word Mooniohua is probably a corruption of
"the sleep"ingMoe ana o Hua." which meansiote»i.t.w«a.

Executions in China.
The theoretical question whether man has
a right to authorize, by legal forms, the extermination of human life, as a means of deterring crime, has long been discussed, and
frequently disputed, but experience seems to
show that nothing less than death is required
to protect society from the assaults of those
who arc unmindful of the sacredness of human life. At least such is the basis of
modern law, among ourselves. Among the
Chinese, the last resort of the law is far
more extended in its operation. Murder,
piracy, robbery, brigandage, and some other
crimes which need not be mentioned, are all
punished by decapitation, while rebellion
against the authorities, as being the most
atrocious of sins, is expiated by the most revolting tortures imaginable, the details of
which are unfit for publication. In December, 1864, the great city of Loo-Chow (the
Paris of China) was captured by the Imperial troops from the Tai-ping rebels, many
of whom were condemned to be decapitated,
though owing to the influence of the EuroPublic
pean mercenary force, the
torture was
omitted. The writer visited that city on the
18th of that month, when he beheld the execution of sixty miserable wretches, whose
crime consisted in differing- with the mandarins on the subject of government. The
writer having joined several military officers,
who were equally curious to witness this
display of the law's dread authority, we
proceeded in a body to the outskirts of the
city, where lay the execution ground, and
which we had been told might easily be
found, from the circumstance of two towers
standing just outside the same, and called
"The Twins." We soon reached the place,
and discovered the execution ground to be
simply an immense court-yard, enclosed by a
high brick wall, some thousand feet square.
We expected to have seen execution-blocks,
or at least some preparation nlready made
for the tragedy which was to follow, but the

few Imperial soldiers lounging listlessly
about, were all that as yet had appeared on
the scene, but wo had just arrived in time.
A long cavalcade of officials and their attendants began to tile into the yard and take
heir places on and around a low platform at
one end,,which had at first escaped our attention. The prisoners were then driven in,
the whole number, (sixty) being chained together by the necks. Five executioners
then came forward, and placing twelve prisoners in a row alternately, on their knees, retired to the platform. The presiding officer
then read tho Imperial rescript, or warrant.

discover the slightest concern
on the part of the condemned. They did
not laugh, but otherwise seemed as indifferent to their awful situation as though it were
a matter in which they had not the slightest
interest. However, we were afterwards informed that they had been drugged by the
jailors previous to their leaving the prison.
The warrant having been read, the executioners advanced to the end of the row which
we had chosen, and there awaited for a few
moments, when an officer, advancing towards
the prisoners, waved a small flag. This MM
the signal for the bloody work to commence.
The five executioners then bared their arms
and began to deal their blows, using a short
hut broad and heavy sword. Each head
was cut ofl" at one stroke, the man first taking a sight at the necks, adjusting the head
straight, and then dealing his blow with
great dexterity, sometimes using one and
sometimes both hands. These human butchers carried on their work with astonishing
rapidity, running from one criminal to another so as to avoid the jets of blood that
gushed from the falling trunks, and occasionally changing their swords. The task
was finished with anatomical precision, and
not a groan was to be heard, nor did one
prisoner flinch from the impending fate. In
exactly four minutes, all the victims had
been disposed of, and released from their
sufferings. The officials now left the spot,
while the heads were all carefully collected,
and placed in small wicker cages, to hang
from the walls of the city, as an in terrorem

Many of our readers have doubtless perused with interest the remarkable statements respecting the enterprise of Mr. Muller, the German who has established an Orphan School in England. The following,
respecting u similar enterprise in New York
city, will be read with interest. One of our
Hawaiian young men, residing in the States,
thus describes a lecture delivered by Mr.
Towles, one of the Missionaries of the Howard Street Mission of New York city, which
will be remembered as established by Mr.
Pease some twenty-five years since,and with
which the lecturer has been connected for
many years. The anecdotes related strikingly illustrate God's providential care of the
enterprise. Says the lecturer :
" Once, on Friday, after paying tire week's
bills, only seventy-five cents were left. Soon
a man came in with a bill of fourteen dollars for potatoes. Mr. Towles and his companion, Mr. Van Meter, had no means to
meet it, but just then the mail brought them
a letter inclosing fourteen dollars and fifty
cents. The bill was paid, and one dollar
and tWMity-tive cents remained to commence
with. At another time they
had five dollars left, and they could see no
other why but to co in debt. The next Sun-
35
day they were to go and lecture in the country, and take collections, but the Sabbat
came, nnd the rain poured down in torrent
so that they could not go out. On Monda

how much money they had in the treasur

Mr. Towles. Then the deacon said, ' Last
night, as you know.it rained hard, and there
were very few at our meeting. One of the
brethren knelt down and began to pray for
the Howard Street Mission. The others followed in the same strain, nnd when they
rose, one said, ' Brother, shall we not answer
our own prayers? They took a collection,
raised two hundred and fifty dollars for you.'
And so saying the deacon threw down the
money and walked off". At another time
Mr. Van Meter, as was his frequent practice,
was going out west to find homes for some
of his boys. The tickets were to cost one.
hundred and sixty dollars and he had but
twenty. Mr. Towles said to the boys, ' Get
ready to fie at the boat for Albany at six
o'clock.' Five o'clock came ; Mr. Van Meter thought it would have to be given up,
but it had been advertised in the Tribune,
and soon men began to come in with money,
some with five dollars, some with ten, and
so on, till they had all that was needed except twenty dollars. Mr. Towles was just
sending to the bank for this when a letter
was brought in. It was from a boy whom
they had sent out west, and contained twenty
dollars, which he had carefully laid by from
his earnings for the Mission which had
blessed him. They started, had a free
breakfast the next morning, and a free lunch
at Syracuse. At night they were to stop at
Niagara. They took supper and rooms for
the night, but had nothing to pay with, in
the morning Mr. Y. said to the landlord, ' I
did wrong last night, for I had nothing to pay
for lodging, supper and breakfast, but here
is my watch ; take it. ' O,' said the landlord,' 1After you had gone to bed, some gentlemen came in and paid every cent of your

" I think 01 rnach more of this nature, but

dren who had gone out from them, both boys
and girls, one of the former at this time being
Governor of a Northwestern State. Also of
those reclaimed from invcterately evil habits
to those of usefulness. He said there were
but few bad children."
" I never saw such perfect faith and trust

THE FRIEND,
MAY 1, 1865.
Extra Special Rejoicings.
American residents in Honolulu observed
Tuesday, April 25th, as"a day for special
rejoicings over the good news from the
United States. The fall of Richmond is,
perhaps, the most prominent feature of the
news, but combined with it is the long series
of victories which have attended the Union
armies. The surrender of S»vannah,
Charleston, Wilmington and Fort Fisher,
should surely call forth the most grateful
thanksgivings from all loyal Americans.
Look East, West, North or South, success
attends the march of the Union armies.
This is surely the beginning of the end of
the most bloody civil war ever waged, but
Americans and the whole civilized world
should unite in rejoicings that the war is not
terminating without putting an end to chattel-slavery in the United States, and leaving
that nation to pursue its pathway of liberty
and justice.
A procession of Americans, singing "John
Brown," inarched to the residence of Mr.
Mc Bride, the American Minister, where a
collation was prepared. Music and speeches
flowed naturally forth as the expression of
rejoicing hearts. The Rev. Mr. Corwin delivered an eloquent address. Impromptu
speeches were made by Messrs. Austin,
Carter and others. Mr. Mcßridc and Mr.
Caldwell, our U. S. Consul, spoke with
much spirit and appropriateness, and we
were most heartily glad to hear both these
gentlemen, in their addresses, make such
prominent recognition of an overruling Providence. How marked the change in this
respect among our public men—Senators
and Representatives—from what it was formerly. President Lincoln has taken a noble
stand upon this subject. God rules, and let
Him have the glory.
In the evening, fireworks and illuminations turned night into day. Several of the
residences of Americans were beautifully illuminated. We noticed those of Captain
Snow, Mr. A. D. and Mr. A J. Cartwright,
Mr. Severance, Mr. Foster, Mr. Ludington,
Mr. Haasinger, Mr. H. A. P. Carter, &c.
In the morning one hundred guns were fired.
and in the evening thirty-six guns. The
whole affair was a grand success.

Andrews' Hawaiian Dictionary.
This Dictionary contains a few words over
15,500. It is a somewhatremarkable circumstance that Mr. Andrews should have gathered and defined about the same number of
words as are to bo found in the great folio
edition of Johnson's English Dictionary. It
contains 15,784 words derived from thirty
different languages, as follows : From Latin,
6,732; French, 4,812; Saxon, 1,665; Greek,
1148; Dutch, 661; Italian, 211; German,
106; Welsh, 95; Danish, 75; Spanish, 56;
and from twenty other languages, sufficient
to make up the number specified above, 15,-784. Since the days of Johnson, the standard Dictionaries, Webster, Worcester and
others, contain a vast number of additional
words. The amount of labor which Mr.
Andrews has bestowed upon his dictionary,
we honestly believe will exceed that which
Dr. Johnson devoted to his dictionary, if we
can credit his own statement that he " might
easily have done it in two years, had not his
health received several shocks during the
time."

"Rebellion on its Last Legs."
'
Thus writes our old friend and fellow-resident, Col. J. F. B. Marshall, to his brother,
on Kauai, under date of February 1. From
his letter we are favored with tbe following
extract. The allusion to Lieut. Reynolds
will be interesting to his old acquaintances
upon the Islands:
" Capt. Reynolds' present position is a
strong contrast to his quiet retirement on
Kauai. I had a long and very interesting
letter from him the other day. He has a
very responsible position at Hilton Head,
and is very efficient, but, as he says, his
spirit craves a wider fame. He is anxious
to have his name restored to the active list,
and he certainly deserves it, now that his
health is so fully restored. He had had a
very interesting interview with Gen. Sherman, who described to him his wonderful
march. Reynolds, who before the war was
it pro-slavery man, has become, since he has
been in South Carolina, an out-and-out Abolitionist. We live in a wonderful era, and
this war is bringing out a public sentiment
far in advance of what in the ordinary progress of affairs would have grown up in half
a century. The eyes of the people have become fully open to the great crime of slavery
and its demoralizing influence upon the
country. And we are indebted to the South
for this progress. The people who madly
rushed to arms to maintain the cursed institution and to found an empire of which it
Religious Liberty in Chile.
It is quite impossible for those who have
always enjoyed the freedom of worshipping
God according to the dictates of their consciences, to appreciate the disabilities and
trials of those whose lot is cast in a country
where the Catholic clergy rule, and where
Protestants are not tolerated. It is gratifying to learn, from various sources, that in
Chile the cause of religious liberty is gradually gaining ground. For many years
after the English Episcopal Church was established there, the building was registered
upon the city records as a stable. It was our
privilege, in the summer of 1842, to worship
in that stable. Since that date a vast progress has been made. For nearly twenty
years, an American Minister of the Gospel,
the Rev. D. Trumbull, has been battling in
the good cause in Valparaiso. He has been
gradually pushing forward every good enterprise, and when opportunity offered dealt
blows for the truth which told. For several
years he edited and published The Neighbor,
which accomplished much good. Preaching
in English and Spanish has been his principal work. For several years he has been
Pastor of a flourishing Church. He took the
ground that he would not preach in a stable, and he has maintained his position, and
is respected for so doing. His policy has
always been to boldly and fearlessly claim
the right to worship God, and throw upon
the opposers of religious liberty the odium of
shutting up his chapel if they dared. They
have not dared. This was the right ground,
and eventually it will prevail in the most
bigoted Catholic countries. Maximilian has
proclaimed religious liberty in Mexico. The
Pope has recently come out with a long letter, reaffirming the old Catholic doctrine
upon this subject, but he is about two hundred years behind the times. In former
years, it was our privilege frequently to receive and publish communications from Mr.
Trumbull, but there being but seldom vessels
sailing from Valparaiso-for Honolulu, our
interchanges have ceased. By H. B. M.
ship Clio, we have been favored with letters,
from which we extract as follows :
"Our Church accommodations have been
enlarged—a new Hall for lectures, and an
enlarged audience-room. About two hundred and fifty'is the number of our congregation, eighty in our Sabbath School,
twenty in another school, besides the Anglican Church, which has at least fifty or sixty.
We are trying to procure an assistant from
good old Scotland, and have hope, though
not as yet sure. My Church has about sixty
members, and some about to unite with us.
We have a local Bible Society, which sustains a sailors' and a shore colporteur. Last
year we distributed eight hundred copies of
the sacred scriptures and three thousand religious books, besides tracts and papers. I
am hammering away for religious liberty,
and for the reformation of manners and faith,
not with all the success I could wish, yet
with some. In our own dear land, God is
showing his power. Man's wrath is working out God's praise. The nation is to be
preserved and the enslaved set free. Three
years ago I saw not how the crime of slavery
could be put away, but God knew, and has
well-nigh accomplished the " task." The
imprecatory Psalms have their use now. I
pray the Lord to break their right arm ; to
scatter their armies ; to crush their schemes
until they submit to the laws, and then
would ask him to give them every blessing.
This country is prosperous. Peru has had
to make peace with her invaders. Rumor
says they are now coining here to make demands."
Extracts from a Letter of a British officer
Traveling in the United States.
The following temperance item is worthy
of a place in our columns
"The health of the army was said to be
excellent, and certainly nothing could be
more delightful than the climate during the
time of my visit. But I suspect there is another cause to account for this satisfactory
sanitary report. I was given to understand
that the men got no spirits whatever, either
directly from the Government or by purchase
from sutlers, and that consequently tbe conduct of the army was very good. This, although convenient for commanding offisers,
struck mc as a specimen of high-handed discipline which we should never dream of enforcing towards our troops. So rigidly is
this rule carried out here, that I was told if a
sutler is detected selling spirits, all his goods
are forfeited."
In referring to his visit to tho foundry
where the Parrott guns are oast, he thus
writes:
"Before this struggle closes, there will be
so grent a development and improvement in
all kinds of arms, both for military and naval warlarc, that the world will act wisely
in leaving itself open to profit by American
:
ingenuity."
We have no doubt of it
We add the following
"I have traveled upwards of three thousand
miles in the Federal States, and saw very
little to remind me that the country was involved in war, and certainly nothing indicative of suffering or exhaustion. I have come
to the conclusion that the resources of the
Federals, both as regards men and money,
are practically inexhaustible."

Mangero, the Translator of
Navigator" into Japanese.
"Bowditch's
By a letter which we have just received
from the Hon. Mr. Pruyn, U. S. Minister to
Japan, we are glad to learn that Mangero is
still alive. From the letter, under date of
January 23, 1865, we quote as follows:
"On my arrival here, I made inquiries
about Mangero, but could learn nothing of
him. After the arrival of the Wyoming,
Commodore McDougall made like ineffectual
inquiries, till one day we had a review of all
the troops, and saw the Japanese Admiral,
of whom the same inquiries were made, accompanied by Commodore McDougall's remark that he thought he had noticed him in
the crowd of spectators. He was called forward. He had no swords, and said he was
in disgrace, and had not dared to come forward until called. We did not learn the
cause ofhis disgrace."
Some of our readers will recall our notice
of this Japanese, in The Friend of June 1,
1860. He was then interpreter of the
Candinmarrah, the Japanese steamer returning from San Francisco to Japan. We hope
again to hear from him, and feci confident
we shall, if he should be allowed to communicate with " outside barbarians."
San Francisco. March 31, 1865.
Rev. S. C. Damon, Editor of " The Friend," and my Reverendand Respected Friends, Singular and Dual:
Tbe inherent modesty which is part and parcel of my nature
received an abrupt shock the other day, when, by the Whistler,
I received a copy of Tbs Fbiens, with the following item in its
pages:
"It has been stated in print that .the D. S. Government derives annually $400,000 from Custom House duties imposed
upon Hawaiian products. Will Mr. Ingots, residing in San
Francisco, please furnish some reliable statistics upon thesubject I Wo know of no one who could doit better."
I tried at first to think it might be my brother James, who is
computing clerk for Messrs. Kellogg, Ilew3ton A Co., who was
meant by the paragraph, "or any other man," save myself
but I afterwards came to the conclusion, on reading the letter
ofa common friend, in whichhe made allusion to "the call,"
thatit was I, and I alone, who was tbe " Mr. Ingols." Such
being the case, I will at once to the task, and point out how I
think it can be made up with accuracy enough to form an
approximate sufficiently correct for generalisation. Let us first
take the imports into Ban Francisco. The bulk of these are as
follows:
142 70
%
Coffee, 14,864 lbs, duty 5c per lb
23,767 62
Molasses, 269,468 galls, duty 8c per gal
»,304 4u
Pnlu, 664.600 lbs, (at 7c per lb, $46,522,) at 20 pr ct.
564 40
Salt, 308,000 lbs, at 18c per 100 lbs
266,668 71
Sugar, 8,851,957 lbs, at 8c. average duly
46
v,44»
Rice, 377,978 lbs, at 2Jc per lb
2,000 00
ITnenumerated, at least
-,
$311,367 18
Being tor Bail Francisco alone fully
Thus far I can go, but you will now have to call oo Collector
Allen for the detailsof thecargoes from the Islands to Oregon.
Boston, and New Bedford. As the duty is mostly specific on
Hawaiian produce, except Hides,Wool and Fulu, it will be
very easy to calculate the duty on the amounts given by him.
The bulk ol the Portland cargoes were Sugar, say 1,000,000 lbs,
which, with the molasses, would probably swell tbe duties collectable to |40,000. In round numbers, then, th* duties collected on the Pacific coast of theUnited States would not m) far
from $340,000. The Eastern vessels' cargoes, as you wellknow,
eoDsist mostly of Oil transhipped from American whalers,and
therefore duty free. The balance of their cargoes are Bides
Wool and sundries. I think It wouldbe safe to estimate that
th* wholeof them did not pay over $50,000 to tbe Custom
Rous*. You will see, therefore, that the person who gave you
theestimate of 1400,000 at theamount of duties paid to the
United States on Hawaiianproductions, must have entered into
a calculationof a somewhat similar nature to mine,and I venture to say that an elaborate research (outside of actual Custom House figures) will not vary the result for th* year ISM, to
the amonnt of $10,000 either way from $400,000.
All ofwhich Is respectfully submitted.

THE FRIEND,
APRIL I, 1805.
A Sailor's Yarn Poetized.
We publish in our columns the new and
popular Poem, ■' Enoch Arden," by the Poet
Laureate of England, who has recently
received a Baronetcy, and will hereafter
be known as
Sir Alfred." This poem
has met with a most remarkable sale
in England and the United States. It is
printed in every variety of form, both cheap
and expensive, and illustrated by artists in
the very highest style. It will, we think,
exceedingly interest the wide circle of our
sea-faring readers, and furnish a topic to beguile the long and wearisome evenings and
" watches below" of many a cruise in the
broad Pacific. In a few days it will be read
by the hardy whaleman pushing his way
" amid tumbling mountains of ice" in the
Arctic Ocean, and by those cruising more
leisurely among the Coral Isles of the "South
Seas." In the name nf all the sailors in the
Pacific Ocean, we thank the Poet for this
effort of genius, seeing that while this poem
delights the university student and devotee
of literature, it also will be equally appreciated by the most uneducated inmates of
the forecastle.

John Brown and H. A. Wise.—A photograph
of Old John Brown, wreathed in laurels, is now hanging in the parlor of the mansion formerly belonging to H. A. Wiss, who
hung the original in another part of the
State. The estate, situated a few miles
north of Norfolk, has been confiscated by the
goveriimfnt.

The Pacific Almanac—We would acknowledge,
from tic publishing house of
H. EL Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, a
copy of the " Pacific Almannc" and also a
Memorandum Book for 1865. These will
be found for sale at H. M. Whitney's Book
Store. The Almanac is very full and complete upon all matters relating to the Pacific
coast, including a list of all newspapers and
periodicals published in the Pacific States.
There are 103 weeklies, (5 semi-weeklies, 3
tri-weeklics and 32 dailies, besides numerous
monthlies and other periodical publications.
This is surely a rapid growth of periodicals,
for twenty-three years ago, when the first
number of " The Friend" was issued, not
one newspaper was published in any part of
that vast region, where now the newspaper
sheets are almost as numerous as the leaves
of the forest.
Castor-Oil Manufactory.— We are glad
to observe indications that this enterprise is
not likely to prove a failure in Honolulu.
The Messrs. Cotton certainly manufacture
oil of an excellent quality, and while not occupied in pressing out oil, they turn their attention to the manufacture of water-wheels.
A large wheel has been manufactured for
the new plantation of Messrs. Green &
Montgomery, Koolau, which works to a
charm. The truth is, a little Yankee enterprise and skill will create a wonderful revolution on these islands. The Yankees are
coming!
Reading
Room at
the
Sailor's Home.
—
It is exceedingly gratifying to witness the
new order of things at the Reading Room.
During the day, seamen are resorting thither
to read the news and write to the " old folks
at home," and during the evening many
find their way to the temperance meeting
and the place where " prayer is wont to be
made." Never among seamen in Honolulu
were the signs for good more encouraging.
We hope the good leaven will continue to
work among both seamen and landsmen.

Enoch Arden.
By

ALFRED TENNYSON, D. 0.1.., Post Lic»«»T«
Long lines o( cliff breaking have left a chasm
And in the chasm are foam and yellow sands ;
Beyond, red roofs about a narrow wharf
In cluster i then a moulder'd church ; and higher
A long street climbs to one tall tower'd mill |
And high in heaven behind it a gray down
With Dani.libarrows i and a haslewood,
By autumn nutters haunted, flourishes
(Ircen in a cuplike hollow of thedown.
Here on this beach n hundred years ago,
Three children of three houses, Annie Lee,
The prettiest little dsmsel In theport,
And Philip Bay the miller's only son.
And Knoch Arden, a rough ssilor's lad
Made orphanby a winter shipwreck, playM
Among the waste, snd lumber of the shore.
Hardcolls ofcordage, swsrthy flshlng-nets,
Anchors ofrusty duke, and boats updrswn
And built their castles ofdissolving sand
To watch them overflow'd, or following ur
And flying the white breaker, daily left
The little foot print daily wash'd awsy.
A narrow cave ran in beneath the cliff
In this the children play'd st keeping house.
Enoch wss host one day, Philip the next.
While Annie still wss mistress •, but st times
Enoch would hold possession tor s week
This Is myhouse and this my little wife.'
Mine too,' ssld Philip, 'turn and turn about :•
When, if they quarrell'd,Knoch stronger-made
Wss msster i then would Philip, his blue eyes
All flooded with the helpless wrsth oftsars,
Shriek out' I hate you, Enoch,' and st this
The little wife would weep for compsny,
And pray them not to quarrel for ncr sske,
And say she would be little wife to both.
:
'
'
But when thedawn ofrosy childhood past,
sun
And the new wsrmth of life's ascending
Was felt by either, either fl.tt his heart
his love.
On that one girl i and Knoch spoko
But Philip loved In ailence ; and the girt
tieem'd kinder unto Philip than to him
But she loved Enoch ; tho' sheknew It not.
And would If ask'd deny It. Eoocb. set
a purpose evermore before his syes,
To hoard all savings to the uttermost,
To purchase his own boat, and make a horn.
For Annie i and so proaper'd that st Isst
A lockler or a bolder flsberman.
A earefollet in peril, did not breathe
For leagues along thatbreaker-beaten coast
Than Bnoch. Likewise bad he served s year
On board a merchantman and made himself
Full sailor; and hs Ulricahad pluck'd a life
From the dread sweep ofthe down streaming seas
A nd all men look'd upon him favorably i
And ere he touch'd his one-and-twenUeth May
He purchased his own boat, and mad* a home
For Annie, nest and nestlike, halfway up
The narrow street that clamber'd toward the mil!
;
�rut: rKih.Mi.

Then, oo a colder, autumn eventide,
Tbe yoaager peoplemaking holiday,
With baf and sack and basket, great and imall,
Want nutting to the hazels. Philip stay'd
(fill father lying sick and needing blm)
Aa hour behind , but as he climh'd the hill,
.Tout where theprone edge of the wood began
To feather toward the hollow, saw the pair,
Enoch and Anni*, fitting band-in-hand,
Mia large gray ey«>s and weatber-heatfn (acr
All-kindlrd by a si HI and sacrM fire,
That buriiM an on an altar. Philip lonkM,
*fld in their eyes and faces read bin doom
Then, aa their fact, drew together, grt nnM,
And alipt aside, ami like a wounded life
Crept down into the hulluws of tin- wood
There, while tfct ml wrr loud iii tuerryunking
Had hii dark huur unseen, and rut** and past
Bearing a NMaasj hunger m Ul heart
.,
So these were wed, and merrily rang the bell*
And merrily ran the years, seven happy ytant,
Seren happy yearsof healthand competence,
And mutual love and honorable toll |
With children; first a daughter. In him woke,
With his first babe's first cry, thenoble wish
To save all earnings to tbe uttermost,
And give his child a better bringing-up
Than his hadbeen, or hers ; a wish renew.i,
When two years after came a boy to be
The rosy idol of her solitudes.
While Enoch was abroad oo wrathful seas,
Or often journeying landward ; for in truth
Enoch's whitehorse, and Enoch's ocean-spoil
In ocean-smelling oiser, and bis face,
Rough-redden'd .villi a thousand winter gales,
Not only to the market-cross were known,
hut In the leniy lanes"behind the down,
far as the portal-warding lion-whelp,
And peacock jewtree of the lonely Hall,
Whose Friday Cut was Enoch's ministering.
Then came a change, aa all things human change
Ten miles to northward of the narrow port
Open'd a larger haven i thither used
Knoch at times to go by land or sea ;
And once when there,and clambering on a mast
Id a harbor, by mischancebe allpt and fell;
A limb was broken when they lifted him
And while he lay recovering there, his wife
Bore him another sod, a sickly one i
Another band crept too across bis trade
Taking her bread and theirs i and on him fell.
Altbo' a grave and staid God-fearing man,
Yet lying thus inactive, doubtand gloom,
lie aecm'd, aa In a nightmare of the night,
To ace bis children leading evermore
Low miserable lives of hand-to-month.
And her, be loved, a beggar i then be pray'd
Save them from this, whatever comes to me.'
*And
whilebe pray'd, the master of that ship
Enoch had servedIn, hearing his mischance,
Came, forbe knew the man and valuedhim,
Reporting of his vessel China-bound,
And wanting yet a boatswain. Would he go f
There yet were many weeks before she sail'd,
Ball'd from this port. WouldEnoch have tbe place F
And Enochall at once assented to It,
Rejoicing at that answer to his prayer.
,
So now that shadow of mischance appearM
No graver than aa when some little cloud
Cuts off tbe fiery highway of tbe sun,
And Islet a light In the offing i yet the wife—
Whan he was gone—the children—what to do
Then Enoch lay long-pondering on bis plans |
To tell tbe boat—and yet he loved her wellBow many a rough sea had he weather'd in ber !
Heknew ber, aa a horseman knowsbis horse—
And yet to tellher—then with what she brought
Buy goods and stores—set Annie forth In trade
With all that seamen needed or theirwivetSo might the keep the house white ha was gone
Should ha not trade himself out yonder 7 go
This voyage more than once 7 yea twice or thrice—
As oft as needed—last, returning rich,
Become the master of a larger craft,
With fullerprofits lead an easier life,
nave his pretty young ones educated.
And pass his days in peace among bis own.
'
Thus Enoch in his iHeart determined all i
Then »o»uif homewar.H came on Annie ptaV

Nursing the sickly babe, bat latest-born.
Forward she started with a happy cry,
And laid the feebleInfant In hit arms ;
Whom Enoch took, and handled, all bis limbs,
Appraised his weight and fondled fathcrlike.
But had no heart to break his purposes
To Annie, till the morrow, when he »|>okc.

I"i Enoch parted with his old MB tn>i..i,
lu-ught Annie goods and stores, and set hia band
To fit their little streetward sitting-room
With shelf and*Jorner for the goods and stores.
So all day long till Enoch's last at home.
Shaking their pretty cabin, hammer and axe,
Auger and saw, while Anniescein'd to hear
Her own death-scaffold raising, shrlll'd and ran,*,
Till this was ended, and his careful hand,—
The space was narrow,—having ordered alt
Almost as neat and close as Nature packs
Her blossom or her seedling, paused ; and he
Whoneeds would work for Annie to the last,
Ascending tired, heavily slept till morn.
And Enoch faced this morning of farewell
All his Annie's fears,
Save, aa bis Annie's, were a laughter to him
Yet Enoch as a brave God-feuring man
Bow'd himself down, and in that mystery
Where God-in-mau is one with raan-iu-G<»l.
Pray'd for a blessing on his wife andbai*Whatever came to him i and then he said
' Annie, this voyage by the grace of God
Will bring fair weather yet to all of at.
Keep a clean hearthand a clear fire for me,
For I'll be back, my girl, before youkuow it
Then lightly rockingbaby's cradle 'and be.
This pretty, puny, weakly little one,—
Nay—for I love him all the better for itGod bless him, he shall ait upon my knees
And I will tell him tales of foreign parts,
And make him merry, when I come home apain
Come Annie, come, cheer up before I go.'
Brightly and boldly.
'
Him running on thus hopefully shebeard,
And almost hoped herself; but when he turn'd
The current of his talk to graver things
In sailor fashion roughlysermonizing
On providence and trust in Heaven, she heard,
Heard and not heard him ; as the village girl,
Who acta her pitcher underneath the spring,
Musing on him that used to fill it forher,
Hears and not hears, and lets it overflow.
At length she spoke, '0 Enoch, you are wise ;
And yet forall your wisdom well know I
That I shalllook upon your face no more.'
*
Well then,1 said Enoch, 'I shall look on yours.
Annie, the ship I sail in passes here
(He named the day) get you a seaman's glass,
Spy out my face,and laugh atall your fears.'
But when tbe last of those last moments cam*-.
1Annie, my girl, cheer up, be comforted,
Look to the babes, and till I come again,
Keep every thing shipshape, for I must go.
,
And fear nomore for me; or if you fear
Cast all your cares on God that anchor bold*
Is He not yonder In those uttermost
Parti of the morning 7 if I flee to these
CanI go from Him 7 and tbe sea Is His,
The aea Is His i He made it'
Knoch rose,
Cast his strong arms about his drooping wife,
And kias'd his wonder-stricken little ones
But for the third, the sickly one, who slept
After a night of feverous wakefulness,
When Annie would have raised blm Enoch said
Wake him not \ let him sleep; how should the child
Remember this?'and kiss'd him in his cot
But Annie from her baby's forehead dipt
A tiny curl, and gay* it thishe kept
,
'
Thro* all bis future i but now hastily caught
His bundle, waved bis hand, and went his way.
She when the day, that Enoch mention'd, came,
BorrowM a glass, but all in vain i perhaps
She could not fix the glass to suit her eye.
Perhaps her eye was dim,hand tremulous,
She saw him not: and while he stood on deck
Waving, the moment and the vessel past.
Ev'u to the last dip of the vanishing hail
She watch'd it, and departed weeping for him;
Then, though she mourned his absence as bis grave.
>'et her sad will no less to chime with his,
But throve not in her trade, not being bred
To barter, nor compensating Mm v,,i,ii
by shrewdness,neither capable of he
Nor Mskbag overmuch nnd taking Lata
And still foreboding 'what would Fuoctt Bar "
Vat more than once, In Aayfl af difficulty
Andpressure, had she sold her wares for less
Than what she gave in buying whit, she sold
She lail'd and sadden'd knowing it; and* thus.,
Expectant ofthat news which never came,
Gain'd for her own a scanty sustenance,
And lived a life of silent melancholy.
,
Now the third child was sickly bom ami pa*.
Yet sicklier, tho' the mother cared fur i(
With all a mother's care: nevertheless,
Whether ber business often call'd tier from it,
Or thro' the want of whatit needed moot,
Or means to pay the voice who best could (ell
What most it needed—howsoe'erit was,
After a lingering,—ereshe was aware,—
Like the caged bird escaping suddenly,
The little innocent soul flitted away.
In that same week when Anniebarfed it,
Philip's true heart, which hungered tot her peace,
(Since Enoch left he bad not looked upon her. |
Smote him, as having kept aloof too lung.
* Surety, 1 said Philip,' I may see her now.
May be some little comfort;' therefore went,
Past thro' the solitary room in front,
Paused for a moment at an inner door,
Thenstruck it thrice,and, no one opening,
Kuter'd; but Annie, seated with tier grift,
Fresh from the burial of her Hull QtM,
Cared not tv look on any human Bwe,
But turn'd hi r own toward the wall and WtfJ
Then Philip standing up said faltenuyly
1 Annie, I came to ask a favor of twa
'
.
He spoke; the passion in her moan'etl reply
Favor from one so sad and so forlorn
As I am !' half abashed him; yet uuasLM.
His bashfulucas and tendernessat war,
He set himself beside her, saying to her \
'
•
I came to speak to you of what he wish'd,
Enoch, your husband: I have ever said
You chose the best among us—a strong man i
For where he fixt his heart he set his hand
To do the thing he will'd, and bore it thro.1
And whereforedid he go this weary way,
And leave you lonely 7 not to see the world—
For pleasure 7—nay, but for thewherewithal
To give bis babes a better bringiug up
Than hts had been, or yours: that was his wish.
And If he come again, rext will he be
To find the precious morning hours were lost.
And It would vex him even in his grave,
If he couldknow his babes were running wild
Like coltsabout the waste. So, Annie, now—
Have we not known each other all our lives 7
I do beseech you by the love youbear
Him and his children not to say me nay—
For, If you will, when Enoch comes again
Why then be shallrepay me—if you will,
Annie—for I am rich and well-to-do.
Now let me put the boy and girl to school i
This ia the favor that I came to ask.'
Then Anniewith her browa against the wall
Answer'd I cannot look you In the face;
I seem so foolishand so broken down.
When you came in my sorrow broke me down,
And now I think yourkindness breaks me down,
But Enoch Uvea; that is borne In oo me:
He will repay you: money can be repaid,
Not kindness such as yours.'
'
'
And Philip ask'd
Then you will let me. Annie *
�THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1865.
That I lore them as If they were mine own;
And I believe, if you were fast my wife.
Thatafter all thesesad uncertain years.
We might be still as happy as God grants
Toany of His creatures. Think upon it;
For lam well-to-do—nokin, no care,
No burthen, save my care for you and yours;
And we have known cacti other all our lives.
And I have loved you longer than you know.'
There she turu'd,
She rose, ami flxt her swimmingeyes upon him.
And dwelt a moment on his kindly face,
Then calling down a blessing on bis head
Caught at his hand, and wrung it passionately.
And past into the little garth beyond.
So lifted up in spirit he movedaway.
Then Philip put the hoy and girl to school,
And bought them needfulbooks, and every way.
Like one who does his dutyby his own,
Made hiraseir theirs; and tho' for Annie's sake,
Fearing the lar.y gossip of the jwrt,
He oft denied his tieart his dearest wish,
And seldom crost her threshold, yet he sent
Gifts by the children, garden-herbsand fruit.
The late and early roses from his wall,
Or conies from the down,and now and then.
With some pretext of flneess in the meal
To save the offence of charitable, flour
From his tall mill that whistled on the wsstc.
Then aoSwcr'd Annie; tenderly she spokei
You have been as Cod's good anget in our house
*God
bless
for it, God reward
for It,
you
It ehaaced one evening Annie's children long'd
To go with others, nutting to thewood,
And Annie would go with them; then they hegg'd
For Father Philip (as they call'd him) too;
Him, like the working bee in blossom-dust,
BlanchM with his mill, they found; and saying to him
Come with us, father Philip,' he denied,
Hut when the children pluck'd at him to go,
He laughed, ami yieldedreadily to their wish.
For was not Annie with them 7 and they went.
'
But after scaling half the weary down,
the prone edge of the wood begnn
To feather towardthe hollow, all tier force
Failed her; and sighing,' let me rest' she said |
So Philip rested with her well content.
While all the younger ones with jubilant eric*
Broke from their ciders, and tumultuously
Pown, thro' the whitening hazels made a plunge
To the bottom, and iHspsrsed, and beat or broke
The lithe reluctant Nougat 10 tear away
Their tawny cluster?, crying to each other
And calling, here and there, about the wood.
.lust where
.
But Philip sitting at ber side forgot
Her presence, and remember'd one dark hour
Here in this wood, whenlike a wounded Ufa
He crept into tho shadow. At last he said,
Lifting his honest forehead, 'Listen, Annie,
How merry they arc down yonder in thewood-*
Tired,Annie 7' for she did not speak a word.
Tired 7' but her face had fall'n ui>on her hands,
At which, as with a kind of anger in him,
The ship was lout,' he said, 'the ship was lost
No more of that! why should you kill yourself
Ami make them orphans quite?' And Annie said
1 I thought not ofit; but—l know not why—
Their voices make mo feel so solitary.'
'
•
Then Philip coming somewhat closer spoke.
'Annie, there in a thing upon my mind,
And it has becu upon my mind so long,
That tho' I know not when it first came there,
I know that it will out at last. 0 Annie,
It is beyond all hope, against aU chance,
Thathe wholeft you ten long years ago
Should atill be living; well then—let mc apeak
I grieve to see you poor and wanting help;
I cannot help you as I wish U do
Unless—they say that women are so quick—
Perhaps youknow what I would have you know
I wish you for my wife. I fain would prove
A father to y*mr children, I do think
rh*y lovt m« as a fatlwr; I am sure
Can one love twice 7 can you be ever loved
As Enoch was 7 what is it that you ask 7'
11 am content' he answered 'to be loved
A little after Enoch.'
O' she cried
Scared as it were 'dear Philip, wait a while
If Enoch comes—but Enoch will not comeYet wait a year, a yearis not so long i
Surely I shall i>e wiser in a year:
0 wait a little !' Philip sadly said
Annie, as I have waited all my life
1 well may wait alittle.' ■ Nay' she cried
11 am bound; youhave my promise—in a year
Will you not bide your year as I bide mine 7'
And Philip answer'd I will bide my year.'
*
But Thilip did not fathom Annie's mind:
Scarce could the wataaa when he came upon her.
Out of full heart and thtatafasaj gratitude
Light on a broken word to thank him with.
Put Philip was her children's all-in-all;
From distant corners of the street they ran
To greet tiis hearty welcome heartily;
fjords ofhis house and of tils milt were tbey,
WonW his passive ear with petty wrongs
or pleasures, hung Btats him, played with him
And call'd him Father Philip. Philip gain'd
As Enoch lost; for Enoch seemed to them
Uncertain as a vision or adream,
Faint as a figure seen in early dawn
I-nwn at the far end of an avenue,
Going we know not where; and so ten years,
Knoch left his hearth and native land,
Fled forward, and no news of Enoch came.
'*
you
Philip, with something happier than myself.
—
'
'
Hereboth were mute, till Philip glancing up
Beheld thedead flame of the fallen day
Pats from the Banish barrow overhead;
Then fearing night and chill for Annie,rose
And sent his voicebeneath him through the wood.
Up came the children laden with their spoil;
Then all descended to the port, and there
At Annie's doorhe paused and gave his hand,
Saying gently, 'Annie, when I spoke toyou,
That was yourhour of weakness. I was wrong.
I am always bound to you,but you are free.'
Then Annie weeping answered I am bound.'
'
She spoke; and in one moment as it were,
While yet she went about her household ways,
Ev'n as she dwelt upon his latest words,
That he had loved her longer thanshe knew,
That autumn into autumn flash'd again,
And there he stood once more before her face,
Is it a year 7 1 she asked.
Claiming ber promise.
4 Yea, if tbe nuts' he said ■ he ripe again;
Come out and see.' But she—she put him off—
So much to took to—such a change—a monthGive her a month—she knew thatshe wa« bound—
A month—no more. Then Philip with his eyes
Full of that lifelong hunger, and his voice
Shaking a little like a druukard'shand,
'Take your own time, Annie, take your own time.'
And Anniecould have wept for pity of him;
And yet she held him on dclayingly
With many a scarce believable excuse,
Trying his truthand his long-aufferane.
Till half another year had slipt away.
'
.
By this the lazy gossips of tt:c port,
Abhorrentof a calculation satat,
Began to chafe us at a personal wrongSome thought that Philip didhut trifle with her.
Some that she but h* Id off to draw him on;
And others laugh'd at her and Philip too,
As simple folk that knew not their own minds;
And one, in whomall evil fanciesclung
Like serpent eggs together, laughingly
Would hint at worse in cither. Her own son
Was silent, tho' he often looked his wish;
But evermore the daughter prest npou her
To wed the man so dear to all of them
And lift the household out or poverty;
And Philip's rosy face contracting, grew
Carewornand wan; and all these things fell on her
Sharp as reproach.
At last one night it chanced
That Annie could not steep, but earnestly
Pray'd for a sign,' My Enoch Is he gone 7'
Then compass'd round by the blind wall ofnight,
Brook'd not theexpectant terror of her heart.
Started frombed, and struck herself a light,
Then desperately seised tbe holy Book,
Suddenly set It wide to find a sign,
Suddenly put her finger on the text,
Under a palmtree.' That was nothing to her,
No meaning there; she closed the book and slept,

Merrily rang the bellsand they were wed.

A footstep iccidM to fsl) beside her path.
She knew not whence; a whisper on her ear.
She knew not what; nor loved she to be left
Alone at home, nor veutured out alone.
What ail'd her then, that ere she entered, often
Her handdwelt lingcringly as, the latch,
Fearing to enter; Philip thought he knew
Such doubts and fears were common to her state,
Being with child; but whenher child was born,
Then her new child was as herselfrcnen'd,
Then the new mother came about her heart,
Then her good Philip was ber all-in-all,
And that mysterious instinct wholly died.
And where was Knoch ? Prosperously sall'd
The ship Qood Fortune,' tho' at setting forth
The Biscay,roughly ridging eastward, shook
Andalmost overwhelm'dher, yet unvext
She slipt across the sunirnjar, of the world.

And frequent interchange of foul and fair.
She passing thro' tbe summer world again
The breath ofheaven came continually
And sent her sweetly by the golden isles,
Till silent in her oriental haven.

There Knoch traded for himself, and bought
Quaint monsters for the markets of those times,
A gilded dragon,also, for the babes.
Less lucky her home-voyage: at first, indeed
Thro' many a fair sea-circle, day by day,
Scarce rocking, her full-busted figure-head
Stared o'er tho ripple feathering fromher bows;
Then followed calms,and thenwinds variable,
Then baffling, a long course of them; and last
Storm, such ss drove her under moonless heaven-.
Till hard upon the cry of' breakers' came
The crash ofruin, and theloss ofsll
But Enoch and two others. Half the night,
Buoyed upon floating tackleand floating spars,
These drifted, stranding on an isle at morn
Rich, but the loneliest in a lonely seaNo want wss there of human sustenance,
Soft fruitage, mighty nuts, and nourishing roots;
Nor save for pity was it hard to take
The helpless life so wild that it was tame.
There In a seaward-gazing mountain-gorge
They built, and thatched with leaves orpalm, a hut,
Half hut, half native cavern. So the three,
Set in this Eden of plcnteousness.
Dwelt with eternal summer, ill content.
For one, the youugeat, hardly more than boy.
Hurt in that night of audden ruin and wreck,
Lay lingering out s three-years death-in-lile
They could not leave him. After he was gone,
The two remaining found a fallen stem;
And Enoch's comrade, careless ofhimself,
Fire-hollowing thisin Indian fashion, fell
Sun-stricken, and the other lived alone.
In those two deathshe read God's warning wait.'

And winding glades high up like ways to Heaven,
The slender coco's drooping crown ofplumes,
The lightning flash of insect and of bird,

That coil'd around the stately stems, and ran
Ev'n to thelimit of the land, the glows
And glories ofthe broad belt of the world,
All these he ssw, but what be fain had seen
He could not see, tbe kindly human face,
Nor ever heard a kindly voice,but beard

With daily-dwindling profits held the house,
A haunt of brawling seamen once, but now
Stiller, with yet a bed for wandering men.
IVre Enoch rested siient many d.iys.
Hut Miriam Lane was good and garrulous
Nor let him be, but often breaking in,
Told him, with otherannals of the p.-rt.
Not knowing—Enocli was so brown, so bow'd,
So broken—all the story uf his house:
His baby's death, her growing poverty.
How Philip put her little ones to school.
And kept them in it, his long wooing her,
Her slow consent, and marriage, and Die birth
Oi Philip's child. And o'er bis countenance
No shadow past, nor motion; any one,
Regarding, well had deem'd he felt the talc
Less than the teller; only when she closed,
Enoch, poor man, was cast away and lost,'
He, shaking his gray head pathetically,
Repeated, muttering, "cast away and lost,'
Again in deeper Inward whispers,' lost
Once likewise, in theringing of hi* earn.
Tho' faintly, merrily—far and far away
Me heard the pealing ofhis parifch belli),
Then, tho' he knew not wherefore, started up
Shuddering, and when the beauteous hatcfnl i-*le
Keturu'd upon him, had not his poor heart
Spoken with That, which being everywhere
Lets none, who speaks with Him, seem all alone,
Surely the man had died of solitude.

But Enoch yearned to see her face Again,
'If I might look on hersweet face again
And know that she is happy.1 So the thought
Haunted and harassM him, and drove him forth.
At evening, when the dull Noyembcr day
Wssgrowing duller twilight, to the hill.
There he sat down gazing on all below;
There did a thousand memoriesroll upw him.
Unspeakable for aadncss. By and by
The ruddy square of comfortable light,
Far-biasing from therear of Philip's house.
Allured him, as thebeacon-blase allures
Thebird of passage, till he madly strikes
Against it, and beats out his weary life.

Thicker the drizzle grew, deeper tbe gloom;
Last, aa It seemed, a great mist-blotted light
Flared on him,and became upon the place.
A shipwreck'd tailor, waiting tbr a sail;
No sail from day to day, but every day
The sunrise broken into nearlet shafts
Among the palms and f tub and precipices,
The blase upon the witters to the east;
The blase upon his island overhead;
The blase upon the waters ft the west;|
Then the great stars thai globed themselves in Heavea,
Tbe holluwer ludlowing ocean, and again
The scarlet shafts of suurim—but no sail

And pace the sacred old familiar field*.
Not yet had perlsh'd, when his lonely doom
Osme suddenly to an end. Another ship
(Bhe wanted water) blowu by baffling winds,
Like the Good Fortune, fromher destined course,
Stay'dby this isle, not knowing where she lay;
For since the mate had seen at early dawn
Across a break on the mist-wreathen isle
The silent water slipping from the hills.

In search of stream or fount, and filled the shores

ever as he mingled with tha crew,
And beard them talking, his long-boundcn tongue
Was loosen'd, till he made them understand ;
Whom, when their casks were flll'.l they took at-oard
And there the tale he utter'il brokenly,
Scarce credited at first but more and more,
Amas'd and melted all wholUten'd to it.
And clothes they gave him and free passage home ;
But oft he workM among the rest and shook
His isolation from him. None of these
Came from bis county, or could answer him,
If quebtiou'd,aught of what he cared to know
And dull thevoyage was with long delays,
The vessel scarce sea-worthy; but evermore
ills fancy fledbefore the buy wind
Returning, till beneath a clouded moon
He like a lover dowa thro' all his blood
Drew in the dewy meadowymorning-breath
IK England, blown across her ghostly wall,
And that tame morning officers and men
Levied a kindly tax upon themselves,
Pitying the lonely man, and gave him it;

For Philip's dwelling fronted Oh the street,
The latest house to landward; hut behind,
With one small gate that open'd on the waste
Flourish'd a little garden squareand wallM;
And in it throve an ancient evergreen,
A yewtrce, and all round it ran a walk
Of shingle, and a walk dividedit.
But Enoch shunn'd themiddle w;ilkand stole
Up by the wall, behind the yew; and thence
Thatwhich he better might have shunned, if griefs
Like bis have worse or better, fcuoch saw.
For cups and silver on the hurnishMboard
Sparkled andabone, so genial was the hearth,
And on the right hand of thehearth he saw
Philip, the slighted suitor ofold times.
Stout,rosy, with his babe across his kneer-;
And o'er her second father stoopt a girl,

('aught at and ever miss'd it, and they laughed,

But turning now and then to speak with him.
Her son, who stood besideher, tall and strong.
And saying that which pleased him, forhe smiled
Now when the dead man come to life beheld
Hit wifehit wife no more, and saw the babe
Hers, yet not bit, upon the lather's knee.

few months since, the Russian Admiral Lisoffsky replied to a letter addressed to
him by a private soldier in the Union Army,
by the name of L. H. Vermilyea. The Admiral's reply we published in The Friend,
of 1861. Below will be found a letter from
the same soldier. We have a most distinct

Honolulu several years ago. The young
man is well educated, as are tens of thousands in the Union Army ;

In From of Richmond, January, 1865.
Key. S. C. Damon—Dear Friend :—
After five years absence from your beautiful
Island—so beautiful to seamen and whalemen after their toilsome and arduous duties
North, and where mv thoughts often revert—
.
29
I thought I would write to you once more, Dr. Hillebrand's Mission to India and
knowing the interest you take in letters
from seamen—old acquaintances—who have
probably left the sea and roving forever.
Hotv I sometimes long to visit your Island
again ; and, were it compatible with duty
and destiny, to live and die th re, in that
soft, lovely climate, amid kind friends, interesting natives and tropical productions.
I have been, since my return, to Cuba, Spain,
Madeira, and the islands of the Atlantic and
West Indies, but I have never come across
the soft, genial atmosphere of a sunset and
eve in the full at Honolulu. With all the
hardships of a whaleman's life, I cannot but
often think of the bright side—of the many
pleasant hours passed among the beautiful
islands of the Pacific. But duty and business calls me elsewhere. lam now in the
army some twelve months, changed from the
navy after twenty-five months service, at my
own request. I have been through a great
deal of hardship in the last nine months, and
my health has partially given way since my
last wound, under u severe and long-pro-
tracted cold.
I have been in every light and skirmish
our regiment bus passed through, had five
men wounded and one killed next to me,
and been twice slightly wounded, the last
time in my neck. Out of 1,140 men our
regiment came to Bermuda Hundred with,
last May, 150 remain 200 were discharged,
their three years being up, leaving about
800 killed, wounded, sick and prisoners.
I was home nine days at election time, on
a sick furlough, and voted for Old Abe."
"
We buried the Copperheads so deep with
ballots they will never be able to rise again.
I occasionally see your letters in the Seamen's Friend, for 1 have had that sent to my
friends since my return. You used to admire my drawings. I send a copied sketch
of Gen. Ord, from the District of Columbia.
The news I need not write ; the papers will
keep you better posted than 1 could. I do
not know how to make sure of your getting
this, but shall try to send it through the
hands of Mr. Seward, who used to send you
documents. I know the impropriety of my
communicating with him personally, but feel
assured that his kindness and interest towards and for the soldiers and cause will
prompt him to cheerfully forward this letter.
The warm interest you and the Hawaiian
Government have evinced for the success of
our cause, I have read in the papers.
Truly your friend,
L. H. Vermilyea.

China.
We regard the appointment of Dr. Hillebrand as fraught with consequences of vast
moment to the weal or woe of these Islands
throughout coming generations. From the
fcllowing official notice, copied from the
Hawaiian Gazette, of March 11th, it appears that the ostensible object of his agencyis to procure laborers for the planters upon
these Islands i
The Honorable William Hillebrand, M.
D., having been commissioned as Royal
Commissioner of Immigration, is intending
to proceed to China and the East Indies by
the first opportunity. Planters and others
desirous of procuring laborers, are requested
to send to the Commissioner a statement of
the number of laborers wanted, whether for
house-service or field-hands, and what proportion of women they are desirous of taking. Those who desire to secure a number
of laborers from the first immigration may
do so by depositing the sum of ten dollars
per head for the required number. Application should be made within a fortnight, as it
is not anticipated that the Commissioner will
be delayed beyond three weeks.
By order of the Bureau of Immigration.
D. Kilakaua, Secretary.
March 7, 1865.
The Hawaiian Government is wise in
thus " taking time by the forelock." Foreseeing that the future agricultural enterprises—sugar, rice, cotton—will require an
additional number of laborers, it is a matter
of considerable importance to ascetrain from
what quarter of the globe those laborers can
be the most readily obtained. Shall they
come from China, India, the South Seas,
Western Islands, Ireland, Germany or elsewhere? While this question is being solved,
it does not require the wisdom of a savant to
make known from whence will come the
capital and mind to employ those laborers
when they shall arrive on our shores. The
list of passengers reported as arriving by
every vessel from California tells the story.
These men land in Honolulu, ride around
this Island, visit the other Islands, and are
carefully " prospecting," as the miners say.
Some of these visitors return, and tell their
story in California and Oregon; others remain, and commence tilling the soil. A
change is coming over our Islands much
more rapidly than many imagine. Shakspeare says :
th<: affairs of men.
" There is a tide in the
Which, taken at
flood, leads on to fortune."
Hawaiian/
It is now flood tide with the
Islands, and the tide is rapidly rising. We
will only remark, in passing, that at such' a
critical period let those guiding the helm of
State see well to it that they keep the ship
pointed aright, or their experience will be
that of the unfortunate mariner described in
�30
ihk
the remaning lines nf Shakspearc, which
we omit to quote.
Hillebrand's mission we look upon as
c of great importance, not only as regards
laborers, but also as having an immense
bearing upon the future products of these
Islands. An eminent writer has remarked,
" We cannot say positively that any plant is
uncultivatible anywhere until it has been
tried."—(Cooper.) We copy this remark
from the Hon. G. P. Marsh's great work,
Man and Nature." In the same book we
find some most suggestive remarks upon
of foreign
" the modes of introductionwhich
is
we are
subject
a
plants." This
from
Hillcbntnd
Dr.
confident will receive
special attention. He will do all in his
power to procure seeds of trees, vegetables,
and plants of every description not already
growing upon thf.se Islands, but natives of
China and India. No person is better fitted
for this peculiar department of labor. His
botanical knowledge and general scientific
information most eminently qualify him for
the important mission which has been confided to him by the Hawaiian Government.
May all possible success attend his mission.
On the part of all American Missionaries residing in China and India, we would bespeak,
in behalf of Dr. Hillebrand, a favorable re-
KDr.
"
We conclude our remarks with the following extract from the work of the Hon. Mr.
Marsh, to which we have already referred :
Besides the vegetables I have already
menitonetl, we know that many plants of
smaller economical value have been the subjects of international exchange in very recent
times. Husbequius, Austrian Ambassador
at Constantinople, about the middle of the
16th century, brought home from the Ottoman Capital the lilac and the tulip. The
Belgian, Clusius, about the same time introduced from the East the horse-chestnut,
which has since wandered to America. The
weeping willow of Europe and the United
States [and the Sandwich Islands] are said
to have sprung from a slip received from
Smyrna by Pope, the poet, and planted by
him in an English garden; and the Portuguese declare that the progenitor of all the
European and American oranges was an oriental tree transplanted to Lisbon, and still
living in the last generation. The present
favorite flowers of the parterres of Europe
have been imported from America, Japan
and other remote oriental countries, within a
century and a half; and, in fine, there are
few vegetables of any agricultural importance, few ornamental or decorative plants,
which are not now common to the three civilized continents."
We cannot refrain from recommending to
our thoughtful readers this work of the Hon.
Mr. Marsh, who now represents the United
States with so much honor at the Italian
Court. In a late paper we have seen it intimated that he might possibly be transferred

Legislation
on Intemperance in California.
Mr. Editor :—lt may be interesting to
you, as a friend of the temperance cause, to
know how similar the laws of California are,
respecting the sale of ardent spirits, to those
of the Hawaiian Islands. I am here in the
shire town of Alameda county, and am thus
in a way to notice the laws of this State. I
notice that this State has enacted a law forbidding the sale of intoxicating drinks to Indians, just us the Hawaiian Government
have forbidden the sale to native Hawaiians.
In 1850, the following Act was passer! by the
Assembly and Senate of this State: "If
any person in this State shall sell, give, or
furnish, or knowingly cause to be sold, given
or furnished to any Indian, male or female,
any intoxicating liquors, he, she, or tney so
offending, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall
be fined not less than forty nor more than
five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not
less than ten days nor more than three
months, or fined and imprisoned, as the
Court shall determine." I remember there
was formerly much opposition to the Hawaiian laws against the sale of liquors to native
Hawaiians, on the ground that such legislation for one class was unequal. But here
we seem to have an instance of such unequal
legislation by as free, liberal and democratic
a Government as there is in the world. I
am not sure that tin' law is not open to complaint on the ground of not being equal, for
not also reaching the white class.
There has been a law passed in this State
which seems to look in the right direction,
though it is not quite what we need, nor in a
shape to be properly enforced. It is a law
that requires the rumseller to bear the costs
of Court for every man convicted of committing crime through the influence of liquor.
The penalties that most naturally follow a
crime seem to be the best: so perhaps the
best penalty for selling liquor would he this
natural one, to make the liqjor-dcalers support all the destitute families impoverished
by intemperance, and to pay all the costs of
Court and all the fines of those convicted of
crimes committed under the influence of
liquor. But, as it would, !>•• hard to induce
a society of thieves to enact prohibitions
against theft, so perhaps it would be hard to
induce a community that were almost uni-
versally intemperate to enact laws against
rumselling. If, in order to make the Hawaiian legislation more equal, the restrictions on the sale of liquor to Hawaiians arc
ever repealed, it may be well to allow their
repeal on the condition that the liquor-dealers be legally bound to bear all the pecuniary consequences of intemperence. It will
thus be determined whether the liquor business is really lucrative to the Islands.

winter
and this cruel war, arc, I beBoth
lieve, coming to a close, though in the last
struggles of the Confederacy there may be
some desperate fighting; but we have throttled the rebellion, and it writhes in our
grasp. It must die. The land is cheered
by continual successes. Good men seem
cheered by the wonderful advance of society
in all humanitarian questions, and, in truth,
it seems as if " Our God is marchinrr on."
Yet Ido not exult. I endeavor to keep myself nerved for any issue or fat.- that may
come, feeling that I would not leave the army if I could, and that there is no grander
duty than the United States service.
I am this month commanding a brigade of
four regiments, in the absence of my superior, and find it pleasant though responsible.
Yesterday, as my orderly was holding my
horse, I asked him where he was from. He
said he was from Hawaii! He proved to be
a full-blood kanaka, by the name of Kealoha,
who came from the Islands last year. There
is also another, by the name of Kaiwi, who
lived near Judge Smith's, who left the
Islands last July. I enjoyed seeing them
very much, and we had a good jabber in
kanaka. Kealoha is a private in the 41st
Regiment U. S. colored troops, and Kaiwi
is a private in the 28th U. S. C. T., in the
Pioneer Corps, Both arc good men, and
seemed glad to have seen me.
We arc now drilling actively, particularly
at target, etc., for the next campaign, and in
good weather we are at work all the while.
There is no firing on our lines.
My little log house is still cheery and
warm. It is evening, and there is a bright
fire of chestnut wood. Holly and cedar
adorn my walls, besides various articles of
furniture, dress and equipments. The Old
Flag" droops by my side. My sword" glitters in the comer. Two chairs and a stool
set around. A bunk on one side and fire on
the other.
I am quite contented, though I am two
and a half years in the service without any
leave of absence. I soon shall seek one, and
visit friends North. lam writing at a table
covered with literature and military books,
by candle-light, and have enough tn read.
My men are having a prayer-meeting iv (he
great chapel-tent given us by the Christian
Commission, and often meetings i( re held by
our faithful chaplain, Kockwood. l The
darkey meetings are very loud, but really
full of feeling and religion. We have many
good men with us.
The other day I went to .Norfolk to hcc
Jennie. Sarah Coan and other ladies were
there. Jennie is in good spirits, good health,
and is engaged in a noble cause. I think
our family are fortunate in being represented
so well in this grand contest of light and
•
darkness.
I often long to take a look at the old
"
house at home," and at the Kawaiahao
churchyard. The trees must have grown
tall and forest-like, and our yard a perpetual
fragrance.

A British
Field Officer Visiting the Union
Army.
In the Sun Francisco Bulletin, of March
11, there is a most interesting letter, copied
from the London Star, and written by a distinguished British field-officer, who has paid
a visit to the Union armies lying before
Richmond and Petersburg. The letter indicates that he witnessed" scenes which have
operated like an admirable salve to clear his
visual organf, and we hope the readers of
the Star experienced similar beneficial effects. He was most kindly entertained by
General Grant. The. following is suggestive.

But the perusal of this public announcement

Massachusetts, that our old friend, J. F. B.
Marshall, Esq., has been appointed Paymaster-General of ihe Militia of that State,
with the rank of Colonel. Good appointment. We arc confident soldiers will receive
their proper dues. We grieve to learn that
Mrs. Marshall continues ill, in consequence
of her hardships and exposures while administering to the sick and wounded Union soldiers, on that terrible inarch through the wilderness, and from the Rapidan to the James
River, last May. Some of the stem and
grim features of war are rubbed off and softened down when ladies ol (he highest culture and refinement follow in the track of the
Union armies, and, like angels of mercy,
bind up the wounds of soldiers, and prepare
for, them a cup of good warm coffee when returning from picket-duty, or lying bleeding
and wounded on the bloody battle-field. Remember, reader, the rebels share in these
kind offices; hence the more shame to those
chivalric sons of the South, who are starving
and murdering Union prisoners in Southern
prisons. A day of reckoning is approaching.
Late News from the United States.
By every arrival from the coast we are receiving the most cheering news of the progress of the Union armies. The fall of
Fort Fisher, the taking of Wilmington and
Charleston, the triumphant march of Sherman, and the victories of Sheridan, foreshadow that the end of the great rebellion is approaching. Grant is slowly but surely drawing his lines around Richmond.

MEMORANDA.
Shlpwrarrk at llHricr'i lilaud.
The American sbip Mary L. Sutton, of Mystic, wu lost m
Baker's Island, Nov. 2utb, 1804, after being at and around tIM
island 41 days, slipping Iter moorings larec timet, and being a*
ica 10 dajß out of the 41, for tbe safety of the ship.
While at her moorings, nn Sunday Nov, 20th, at 2 P. M., in
a sudden squall from the West, the ship dragged her moorings,
(the buoy being tacked alongside,) and went on the reef, stern
ftntt, and struck 6 times. The squallmoderating, ship sprung
ahead Into 20 fathoms, apparently not much damaged, as she.
was making no wuter. In about "0 minuUs took another
squall, stillharder than the flrot, from the same quarter, which
forced the ship's stern high up on the rt-ef, striking heavily,
unhanging the rudder, &c, causing the ship to leak, 'he water
running forward, mm ship settling by thehead. Wr found it
impossible to save the ship, let go the moorings, and swung
around broadside on to the reef, to prevent her going down
bead first.
On the first striking of the ship, Mr. Wm Kinney, Superin
tendeotof tbe island for the American flu-in >dmpuny, csma

At about 5 I*. M., we left the .-hip, ami in M minutes after
leaving the ship she was on her neam endb, j.cclod off shore,
with heavy surf breaking in on to her decks, and by 8 1\ M.,
the beach was strewn with portions of the wreck. At 6P. M.,

that is not with me is against me," will apply to this question of temperance : those
who are not for the cause are against it.
1, 1803.
Temperance Awaking.—It is a most grat-
ifying fact that the friends of this good cause
are bestirring themselves in Honolulu. Several chcerinir and well-attended meetings
have been held at the Sailors' Home and the
the vestry of the Bethel. The meetings
have resulted in the organization of the
Seamen's and Mechanics' Temperance
"Association."
The proper officers have been
chosen to carry forward the operations of the
Society. It is to be hoped that great good
will be the result, and we are confident such
will be the case. It has been so in former
years, and, although Societies have been
formed and become extinct, yet there has always been progress in the right direction.
It is well to keep the subject before the minds
of the people.
On Monday evening, the Rev. Dr. Gulick
and others, addressed the Society at the vestry of the Bethel. The meeting was well
attended. He spoke in his usual animated
and eloquent style, upon the social, economic, medicinal and religious bearings of the
temperance question. Among other facts,
he stated that five hundred ministers of the
Church of England and one bishop had
signed the teetotal pledge, and he might
have added that nine-tenths of all the ministers of the gospel in America are firmly
pledged to the same good cause.
At the same meeting, the Rev. Mr. Cotwin made an effective impromptu speech,
and the Society, on motion of the Seamen's
President Lincoln and Vice President
Johnson.—Before this sheet reaches most of
our readers, the inauguration of the President and Vice President will have transpired
at Washington. Their known sentiments
upon the war question, emancipation, and
kindred subjects, will indicate the policy of
the United States Government during the
past four years. We have often published
the views ofPresident Lincoln on the slavery
question, but we now publish an article
making known Vice President Johnson's
views. It is worthy of perusal. Whatever
the rebels, and those who sympathize with
them at home and abroad, may think in regard to slavery and the future standing of
the colored people in the United States, it is
well known where President Lincoln and
Vice President Johnson have taken their
stand. They are practical believers in the
doctrine that" all men are born free and
equal." Depend upon it, this noble stand
will exert a mighty and controlling influence
throughout other nations as well as the
United States.
Photographic Views of the Volcano.—
Mr. Chase is now taking photographic views
of the volcano and other island scenery,
which are very good representations. Although they may not fully portray the original scenes, they are vastly superior to any
written description, and may readily be sent
in a letter. We hope he may succeed in
this branch, until every nook and comer of
the islands is perfectly photographed.
and make any necessary repairs. The good
work is now in progress. The following
subscriptions from the merchants and others,
of Honolulu, will enable the Committee to
go forward in the work, without feeling that
a very large debt will be left unpaid when
the work is completed

President elect of the United States, stood

surrounded him by thousands. His speech
was brief, but it will live forever.

dent of the United States proclaimed freedom to c laves in most of the seceded territory, but the benefit of that emancipation
was withholdcn from you of Tennessee, and
others. But to-duy, standing here upon the

the State to witness, the present condition
to guide, and its future to encourage me, I,
Andrew Johnson, do hereby proclaim free-
<
'
dom, full, broad, and unconditional, to every
man in Tennessee!"
A correspondent of the Hartford P> st, who
witnessed the scene, says it was one of those
moments' when the speaker seems inspired,
and when his audience, catching the inspiration, rises to his level and becomes one with
him. Strangely as some of the words of his
immortal utterance sounded to those uncultivated ears, not one of them was misunderstood. With breathless attention those sons
of bondage hung upon each syllable; each
individual seemed carved in stone, until the
last word of the grand climax was reached,
and then came the scene which beggars all
description. One simultaneous roar of approval and delight burst from three thousand
throats. Flags, torches, banners and transparencies were waved wildly over the throng,
or flung aloft in the ccstacy of joy. Drums,
fifes and trumpets added to the uproar, and
the mighty tumult of this great mass of human beings rejoicing for their race woke up
the slumbering echoes of the Capitol, vibrated
throughout the length and breadth of the
city, rolled over the sluggish waters of the
Cumberland, and rung out far into the night
Having thus (riven them their freedom,
the Governor went on to tell them of its
privileges, its duties and its responsibilities.
That portion of bis speech which described
and denounced the aristocracy of '.usiiville,
and its effects upon his hearers, is thus re"The representatives of this corrupt, (and,
ggLjou will permit me almost to swear a litWe,) this damnable aristocracy, taunt us with
our desire to see justice done, and charge us
with favoring negro equality. Of all living
men they should be the last to mouth that
phrase; and, even when uttered in their
hearing, it should cause their cheeks to
tingle and burn with shame. Negro equality,
indeed! Why, pass any day along the
sidewalks of High street, where these aristocrats—whose sons are now in the bands
of guerrillas and cut-throats who prowl and
rob and murder around our city—pass by
their dwellings, I say, and you will see as
many mulatto as negro children, the former
bearing an unmistakable resemblance to their
aristocratic owners.
Colored men of Tennessee! This, too,
shall cease! Your wives and your daughters shall no longer be dragged into a concubinage compared to which polygamy is a
virtue, to satisfy the brutal lusts of slave-
sanction to your degradation and your
shame !"
Thank God ! thank God !" came from
the lips of a thousand women, who, in their
own persons, had experienced the hellish
iniquity of the man-seller's code. " Thank
God !" fervently echoed the fathers, husbands, brothers of those women.
"And if the law protects you in the possession of your wives and children, if the
law shields those whom you hold dear from
the unlawful grasp of lust, will you endeavor
to be true to yourselves, and shun, as it were
death itself, the path of lewdness, crime and
vice ?"
" We will, we will!" cried the assembled
thousands ; and, joining in a sublime and
tearful enthusiasm, another mighty shout
went up to Heaven.
" Looking at this vast crowd of colored
people," continued the Governor, "and reflecting through what a storm of persecution
and obloquy they are compelled to pass, I
am nlmost induced to wish that, as in the
days of old, a Moses might arise who should
lead them safely to their promised land of
freedom and happiness."
'• You are our Moses," shouted several
voices, and the exclamation was caught up
and cheered until the Capitol rung again.
" God," continued the speaker, " no doubt
has prepared somewhere tin instrument for
the great work he designs to perform in behalf of this outraged people; und in due
time your leader will come forth; your
Moses will be revealed to you."
" We want no Moses but you!" again
shouted the crowd.
" Well, then," replied the speaker, " humble and unworthy as I am, if no other better
shall be found, I will, indeed, be your Moses,
and lead you through the Red Sea of war
and bondage to A fairer future of lilierty and
peace. I speak now as one who feels the
world his country, and all who love equal
rights his friends. I speak, too, as a citizen
of Tennessee. I am here on my own soil,
and here I mean to stay and fight this great
battle of truth and justice to a triumphant
end. Rebellion and slavery shall, by God's
help, no longer pollute our State. Loyal
men, whether white or black, shall alone
control her destinies. When this strife in
which we are engaged is past, I trust—l
know—we shall have it better state ofthings,
and shall all rejoice that honest labor reaps
the fruit of its industry. ■■""! that every man

The narrator of this event says it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm which
followed these words. Joy beamed in every

Tears and laughter followed
each other in quick succession. The great

while at dinner, various subjects were conversed upon. One of the crew asked him

about eight men killed on board of ships at
sea, but none appeared to me so awful at, the
one I have described, and in fact, consternation was depicted on the countenances of the
crew when they came to ponder over his expression, and sudden death. Having been
so short a time together, 1 was not able to
learn his real name, but I believe he was an
Englishman, and very likely his relations
have lost all traces of him.

Of course I'll go (though whereand bow.
I don't exactly see)*
Tho wounded boys are crowding- in,
There isn't room for me.
I'd better lay again the prayen
I learned at mother's knee.
And trust the Owl whom Mary loved
Hill kindly care for me.
1 have n't spent six months ashore,
Since at my mother's knee,
I, sobbing, said my parting prayer,
And then was off to sea.
When yeanhad passed, and I came back,

If mother or my Mary lived,
(What ails my foolish eyes r)
This poor, old, maimed and battered tar
They'd treasure as a prise.
Yet, both my "pins" were shot away;
I don't begrudge them, though;
We beat the rebels in the fight
Before I went below.
Our captain praised me for my pluck.
In presence of the crew,
And yet 1 hardly had the time
Toshow what I coulddo.
I'd like to try the thing again,
To help our country through j
To keep her whole, from stem to stern,
I would be shot In two !
But now there is no chance for me
To join the tars again:
They did not stop to speak to me
In reck'nlng able men.
Tbey don't enlist four-footed folks,
Or I would volunteer}
For, though not built for fighting now,
I might make out to steer.
Hefgho! with following tbe sea
(
I know 1 must be done:
never more shall trim a sail,
Or stand to serve a gun.
I don't begrudge my loss, I say—
I'm made of better stuff—
Bat where to go, and what to do,
It bothers me enough.
